I remember how proud I felt to work at Microsoft when that video was unveiled. The company had made something so beautiful, and then done an amazing job showing it to the world.

An amazing marketing video in every way that counts, except apparently in regards to sales!

I bought one! It was a breathtaking piece of hardware that I wanted so badly to be useful. Unfortunately my work can't be done in Windows and it wasn't powerful enough to virtualize everything (the slow HDD was the worst) and I ended up selling it. But wow, what a form factor and gorgeous screen.

then they ignored the line, had to make a special build of windows 11 to run on it...

I have no idea why they keep doing this shit with hardware over and over.
