Vaporware 2003 Awards

Das Magazin Wired hat seine Vaporware 2003 Awards veröffentlicht.

Unter den "glücklichen" Gewinnern finden sich unter Anderem Duke Nukem Forever, das den "Lifetime Achievement Award" einheimsen konnte, das Phantom Gaming System von Infinum Labs, das - nomen est omen - wohl noch länger nur ein Phantom-Dasein fristen wird, sowie das "most eagerly anticipated game 2003", Half-Life 2.

Zitat

Meanwhile, dishonorable mentions go to SCO for the as-yet-unseen Unix code that the company alleges was ripped off in Linux, and to Microsoft for its "secure computing initiative" and the ever-slipping ship date for Longhorn, which is shaping up to be a very promising candidate for the Vaporware awards in 2006, 2007 and maybe even 2008.

Dishonorable shout outs also go to Valve's Counter-Strike: Condition Zero; President George W. Bush's weapons of mass destruction; and the Oqo minicomputer, which came in at No. 4 last year and is now so vaporous that no one is looking forward to it anymore.
