Oh Microsoft...

[Aurora Borealis]

It's Microsoft's most miserable flop I've never heard of until just now!

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

hmm, with all the commercials, i never knew it wasn't popular. it looked kinda cool. :\

oh well. microsoft won't give up that easily.

[Acher13]

Wow... and I just knew about this product today. O.o

[stewartsage]

Hm, I just saw another commercial for it

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

lulz, wonder what they're gonna pull out of their asses to fix this. xD

can they really pull another turnaround like with the vista-to-7 thing? stay tuned. xD

Bwap-wapm-waaaaaaahmmmmp~

The Kin sounded a little fishy to me from the start, who needs a social-networking phone anyway? Or a better question, what is a social-networking phone?

Why is it that every time MS tries to be "hip" or "cool" or "in-with-the-scene" they flop miserably? Oh yeah, because anyone self-conscious enough to want to be "hip" or "cool" or "in-with-the-scene" is ALREADY ON THE APPLE BANDWAGON. Microsoft should stick to what they do best, monopolizing the computer industry and leave the gadget-making up to companies that actually know what they're doing.
