Microsoft Surface Table Delayed - Picky Customers to Blame
Unfortunately for electronic table fetishists everywhere, you won’t be able to walk into a restaurant, a casino or a retail outlet and play with a MicrosoftSurface table until spring of next year. Why isn’t it surfacing until then? Partners.
Partners who need Microsoft’s help to build custom apps to fit Harrah’s, Sheraton and T-Mobile needs for gambling, sleeping and phone choosing. Beyond the delay, Microsoft also has some interesting plans to expand from just the retail and hospitality industry to government, education and enterprise businesses to eventually, as Gates predicts, be on “every table,” “every whiteboard,” “every mirror” within 5 to 10 years.

Microsoft should concentrate on building a solid framework to make development easier for the software development community in general. That’s how the MS creative process works best - create a framework, let the smaller, more innovative software companies create the killer apps, then buy up those companies, re-brand the software or integrate the features into existing MS software, and let the MS marketing machine work its magic.
Picky Customers to Blame
I think MS is more to blame, because of their not good enough developed software.
Of course customers want the software to be complete. So you can’t blame a customer for wanting software that works, opposed to some half/not finished demo applications.
