\"CotW_Microsoft-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, Microsoft announced Windows 10 \u2013 along with a new holographic computing headset called HoloLens. In short, they introduced a competitor to Google Glass \u2013 just as Google announced that sales of their product will stop later this month. Microsoft has never been particularly innovative, nor have they gained the same product evangelism that other tech companies (ahem, Apple) have gained \u2013 but they hope that\u2019s all about to change. There\u2019s just one small problem: their \u201cnew\u201d technology isn\u2019t all that new, and is built on a legacy system that\u2019s unlikely to get users excited. Even with all the PR in the world, Microsoft will actually need to invest their money in innovative products if it wants to earn the love of it\u2019s users and hang with the cool kids.<\/p>\n
