    Reasons why this will fail, straight from the summary:
    1. The name sucks.
    2. It uses Microsoft Passport
    3. It's from Microsoft.
  2. End "Leaked" Abuse! by PavementPizza · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It wasn't "leaked", a word which gives it an aura of mystery it doesn't deserve. This is basically a press release, people! It's not like it's some big secret. The first time a corporation opens the kimono and shows off the latest new Microsoft ePenis it grew isn't a "leak". Stop it! Just stop abusing this. You're doing their marketing work for them!
