While many are waiting to see what good bit of new sexy Apple is going to release in two weeks, some companies like Microsoft and Google rush their announcements out this week at CES. Microsoft’s “new” tablet was wholly unremarkable.

I think this has got to be one of the best encapsulations of Microsoft’s current strategic direction:

Microsoft’s tablet “strategy” is like an Escher painting, full of staircases leading in every direction that all ultimately just go round in circles. The company so badly wants to be Prometheus, bringing fire to the mortals. Instead it’s like some drunk dude flicking matches at us. (Source: The Macalope)
