Some things, it seems, can only happen in the world of computing. The design of a new product is announced and the world is full of high expectations, but, when the product is ready and people start to use it, it fails to meet in a most blatant manner its main objective. It is a failure and one would expect it to recognized as such. Nothing of the sort: the original main objective is kindly forgotten and the vast majority believes the product to be a great success.
