M$ item

There was a somewhat sad item about our friends at Micro$oft in
yesterday's Infoworld (v16i50 12/12/94, pg.6). "Hand-held operating
system - Microsoft pulls plug on WinPad, works on new OS," by Yvonne
Lee.

The article claims that they've stopped shipping updates to the SDK and
will close the CI$ support forum, and described this as "recalibration."
The article cites developers as calling the OS a "power hog" unable to
run on an affordable platform.

I'm shocked. Perhaps this means there's a glimmer of hope for some other
market-savvy pen OS developer?
