StartSomethingPC, the design competition

Maybe Microsoft is a tad jealous of the handsome and good looking Apple machines. An effort that reminds me of the phrase, “putting lipstick on a pig” the company is offering $125,000 to a design team that can reinvent the PC and leverage next generation Windows OS (aka Longhorn). I guess they have to do this, given that most PC makers are showing utter lack of imagination. You can find more details at StartSomethingPC. I guess I was off base in my previous report. I had great expectations, now feeling a tad let down. Oh Well!
