Over at BetaNews there is an article MSN In Need of an Image Makeover?. After reading it over and then going over to Torres Talking which is blogs MSN - Early adopters and "influencers". I was thinking how can there be any buzz about products when everything Microsoft does is so public. The most recent example would be IE 7. We already know what they are planning. I can picture it in my head tabbed browser, CSS 2.0, etc. So will I be excited when I get my hands on it yet? Of course, but will I be totally shocked and surprised and go shouting from the rooftops that IE 7 is here and its the best thing since sliced break? No.
Yahoo's Search Developer Network got so much buzz because it just showed up. No one expected it. It was like a bomb exploded and people just talked about it because they didn't expect it. Its not that way with Microsoft products, you hear about them so early and you just wait. When they get released its like finally what took so long.
Get me to shout from the rooftops Mike.
