I don't want to lug a phone, digital camera, gameboy, and PDA around with me all the time. I would, however, love to have all of their features and functionality available to me all the time.
Just because we haven't yet figured out the best way to get it all into one super-awesome, power-saving, easy-to-use-but-really-small package doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
My 5-person R&D team has found two bugs in Microsoft Products (one in the VB6 runtime and one in MSMQ) in the past year.
In both cases, Microsoft was quick to verify the bugs, escalate the issues quickly and provide us with hotfixes.
We've had no problem with Microsoft's developer support taking us seriously and working with us to make sure everything rolls along smoothly.

Can't we harness all the energy we're putting into hitting all of these keys to good use? What about generating electricity from typing?
Heck, at least the energy I've spent typing this message would actually be worth something then...
