The Register reports the Microsoft Phoenix glider fails to show the “right stuff” in the recent Red Bull Flugtag competition in Long Beach, California. Guess the engineers didn’t do much end-user testing on the device. I just wonder how many man-hours went into the team choreography to the XP / Windows 7 mashup.
