and about ....
.... wait for it....
...now, the first customer returned it saying "it stopped working somehow"

we are still some time from a 3D printer that works all the time.
if i see how after a few years i'm still ablo to get mine to not print because i did something wrong,
i can only imagine how people who need something that is "idiot proof" are going to use it.

Microsoft doesn't sell software, they market their crap as a boon for technical support people who wouldn't have a job if it weren't for Microsoft.

I guess that's why they think this will work for them. Look at how well Windows 8 is doing... sad smiley

I'm blushing. I edited my post and your quote for literacy's sake... Sorry about that.

I'm curious to see if this backfires on them. Now their name is attached to a product that requires a huge amount of support for the average consumer
