Probably since it is yet another "me too" technology from Microsoft.

Companies always come out with "new" technologies, and I personally think it is good to remind people who don't have a firm grasp of the obvious, that there's nothing new here at all.

Even MS says that they are following Apple here, did you read the article? They aren't claiming it's new, or innovative.

It's still a move forward, if they can get everyone involved. That's the hard part.
