Earlier today, Microsoft confirmed that they are canceling the ‘Courier.’ This shocked MANY people. The Courier is a tablet made by Microsoft with a pretty slick and revolutionary UI. Now, why did they cancel it? I was really wondering why they decided to cancel this amazing looking project. Microsoft’s response was:

At any given time, across any of our business groups, there are new ideas being investigated, tested, and incubated. It’s in Microsoft’s DNA to continually develop and incubate new technologies to foster productivity and creativity. The “Courier” project is an example of this type of effort and its technologies will be evaluated for use in future Microsoft offerings, but we have no plans to build such a device at this time.

Overall, I find this very depressing that they cancel this revolutionary project.
