Whatever it takes to rule in everything, right Bill? Why not spend your time on getting those bugs out of your current software?

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Bill's trying to promote the hardware route because there's way too many bugs in Win-DOHS (note the Homer Simpson reference) to get rid of.  He's covering his tracks, not to mention his ass.
