Vaporware

This was at WP:FAC, but I should've put it here to begin with. ··gracefool |☺ 22:28, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The statement about the Hurd is wrong, for one. Just for starters, it was not started in 1984. Suggest time on Wikipedia:Peer Review. Dan Gardner 04:22, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It's awfully short. →Raul654 05:13, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)

Objection/Comment. Not sure if this can ever be much of an article to feature. I mean you've got what vapourware is (two lines enough?) and then it's just examples. If there is a way to expand it, I suppose it is an interesting topic to feature - non-techies may not be familiar with it. But it should be moved to vapourware (just kidding).

This article definitly needs more history, context and content -- for instance Atari was infamous for vaporware in the 1980s. ( http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=atari+vaporware ) In addition, you can beef up use of "vaporware" product announcements to intimidate or damage competition ( http://ethics.csc.ncsu.edu/commerce/anticompetitive/vaporware/study.html and ) of minor relevance: Wired.com has an annual Top 10 Vaporware list that it publishes every January. -- Davodd 23:34, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
