微软Office展示了这样一个“未来”视频http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cNdhOKwi0 有评论称 这个video展示了微软的问题所在：他们最酷的产品是想象出来的未来“牛屎”。我们都已经看过了《少数派报告》（aaaty：avatar我们也看过了；我一直不懂为什么我们需要那样的透明屏幕）。如果微软能把做这种video的功夫花在制造用户真的能用能买的产品上…… 我看了之后的感觉是，和当初的Courier，微软的未来研发变成了Adobe After Effect形式的ppt战场。从这个视频来看，可见微软根本不考虑“可用性”。比如把菜谱映射到厨房桌面上，真的是实用的吗？真的做饭做菜的都知道，厨房表面很容易就摆满了材料和厨具。而且视频里很多hologram都是啥啊？怎么实现，有意义吗？Courier的操作也极其复杂，learning curve可以想像，和iPad的两岁小孩也会用根本不可同日而语。 微软企业文化里，大概就根本没有可用性和intuitive可言。
