An Email To Microsoft On the Microsoft Courier

by Sekhat 23. September 2009 16:28

This is an email that I wanted to send to microsoft, unfortunately I couldn't find an address to send it to, so I've posted it here in case anyone at microsoft finds it by accident.


Hello guys at Microsoft,

I have no idea if this email will hit anyone, it will mostly be bounced back I bet, but here I go anyway.

This is the first time I've been compelled to write an email to you guys, but what I've seen today has me nearly wetting myself with glee that I thought I should tell you.

Whoever brain child the Microsoft Courier was needs a raise and a standing ovation.

I've just watched the concept video, and if you guys make it work as the concept video shows (and I'm sure you'll take the time to make sure the experience is at least as good as the concept video) then I will be forever in your debt as it looks like a tool, a device, that I've been wishing for for quite some time now. It would solve a huge problem for me, that I didn't think would get solved.

I'm a developer, and I'm a developer with lots of ideas, ideas popping up left right and center for little projects that I would love to do (unfortunately they aren't the money making type of projects). When these ideas do pop up, I need to get the idea down. Currently I'm faced with three options.

1. Carry a paper notebook and a pen round with me, and write in that at any given moment, This gives me the best way to express my ideas, but the information is static, stuck the page and becomes hard to work with
2. Type it into my phone. This takes a long time, even with my on-screen keyboard, I also lose the expression given to me by paper
3. Put it into my computer. I can express the idea how I like here and it's not static, but that takes even longer and takes using multiple tools by which point the best parts of my thoughts have already scattered to the winds.

The Courier seems to solve all these problems for me. The lack of overhead and freedom to express my ideas like pen and paper and the ability to work with than information in a none static way is all win.

So, please, I emplore the courier team to get it working like the concept, and get it working like a dream, launch the product (in the UK!) and I'll be spamming the refresh key on the UK microsoft store on the launch date until I can press buy!

PS. Would be nice if the courier team got to see this email, I know it's always good to know that what your working on will truely help someone.
