Summary: Lacking any progress for Windows or Microsoft in general, the company seems to be disclosing some more fake "leaks" of something that does not exist
THE PAST week has been a particularly weak one for Microsoft, at least based on the news. In the next few days we'll produce proof of this.
First of all, versions of Windows are being retired and
this is the only article that we found about "Vista" in the past week. That's unusual. Secondly, we also found just four clusters of headlines about "Windows 7" (
Vista 7), which is very little. News for "Microsoft" has generally been low in volume over the past week, for no apparent reason. There is almost nothing of substance that we haven't covered yet and we mentioned Courier
last week for being Microsoft's catch-up and also vapourware. Someone wrote
this article about it.
Microsoft is a well known brand, but why do they always seem to be adding products right after another, *cough* Apple *cough*, company has already released something new? As reported in PC World, the Microsoft Courier doesn’t really seem to be anything that is actually in the making, BUT Engadget reports on some key points that sure as heck seem like a real product.
Microsoft claims that details were "leaked", but this lying company is the boy who cried "Wolf!" when it comes to leaks [
1,
2]. Just
like Apple, Microsoft routinely fakes "leaks" in order to create hype and the nature of the "leaked" images suggests that they are too professionals to be of that nature. It's more like OLPC's mockups.
