New Mouse from Microsoft desinged by Philippe Starck. — Is this an early salvo? Or part of a long term scheme to make products look hot? I find it hard to beleive this guy was hired to JUST design a mouse. I’m thinking a line of computers, keyboards, and the XBOX -2. Move over Apple.

Microsoft has always known where to play and where not to. It should be like sell [anything] cheap and useful and beautiful. Are you strong or clever?, is your car comfortable or sport?

— “Move over Apple”
You have go to be kidding me.
This mouse looks like something Apple cooked up – it does not look like it’s easy to use…

Although I’m currently using Logitech’s answer to MS’s cordless, intelligent, adventurous, whoop-de-doo, optical mouse — I only switched because I’m so pissed off at MS outsourcing. I’ve thrown most everything of theirs away after 21 years — hardware and software. The main result is saving money.
I preferred the larger thumb buttons on the MS version; but, the Intellimouse software never stopped being buggy. The Logitech version is smooth as silk. I won, again.
Someone, someone please, offer me a gui OS that runs the software I own [that runs inside XP]. If your name isn’t Microsoft, I will buy it and try it, instantly!
pretty cool, it’s a shame that mac lovers still waiting for something big… well.. what can you expect from people that hates microsoft ‘c0s is big but the love a company thats monopoly with their lifes.
