I wasn't expecting great things from the project, but didn't expect it to be killed, WTF Microsoft???

Did MS ever even announce it? Probably was just some prototype they were developing to see how it would go.

Nah, they just showed renders and stuff, likely leaked by one of the team members so the project wouldn't get killed...

There was a story sometime back about how internal fighting & politics killed many innovate products/projects @ Microsoft.

DOA means Dead on Arrival. It never arrived. It was dead before it could even begin. It was all concept, everything we've seen was renderings.

Well for being a concept a lot of people on the forum and gadget blogs sure had very high hopes for it.

That is too bad. I would have liked to play with one even though it seemed awfully small.

I thought they actually had some cobbled together hardware they showed too (looking like a Borg version of it) and I too wish they had stuck with it.

How can you kill vaporware? Good thing Courier fully supported Flash, being it was nothing but a Flash demo

it looks nice, but 2x screens = 2x screen price and screen power.
