Actually "New Coke" did fail because of taste. When New Coke was "enginered" it was tested for marketability by with "sip tests" (i.e. people taking a sip of the drink and comparing it to other versions). "New Coke" was sweeter than "Original Coke", therefore more people prefered it to the other candidates when taking sip tests. But when "New Coke" was relesed and people drank the stuff for real the taste was too sweet to bare.
These subpoenas are irrelavent. Skype's customers will hate them for doing this.
What skype is actually saying:
"I don't care about my customers I'd rather do some crossmarketing with intel, the next time I might omit features for those people that don't have [insert brand here] monitor XYZ"
