"What's the danger of not letting your internal bloggers know about your product release plans? They might not be able to help keep your announcements in proper perspective," writes Microsoft lead blogger Robert Scoble.
Kent Newsome asks "will it walk the walk?"
Whenever hype gets ahead of an announcement, the answer has to be: no.
But, then, you gotta realize that I totally agree with Joe Wilcox who says that the best companies underpromise and overdeliver.
Maybe I should have posted that no one will want an Origami and that it sucks raw potatoes.
Seriously, let's keep our hype in check, OK?
Comment: Seems there will not be a product announcement on March 2, just "more details", and there probably isn't a product anywhere. Microsoft develops reference designs and samples to show manufacturers the kinds of things they could develop around Microsoft software, but that doesn't put boxes on shelves. Also, I've seen examples before, like Microsoft's Stinger smart phone at Comdex 2000, where the final products bore very little resemblance to the prototypes. If Origami is like Stinger, come back in two or three years....
