"In baseball, it's three strikes and you're out," NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton <http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6544336.html> said Friday of the news that the Microsoft device had "unexpectedly shut down," as the NAB said Microsoft had characterized it. "How many strikes does Microsoft get? If they can't get the device to work in the lab, how are they going to get it to work in the real world?" .
