      <![CDATA[Consumer Reports tested this thing last year, and found pluses and minuses. Its basically a small combo microwave/electric wall oven. They said it zipped through frozen pizza in 4 minutes and cookies in 6, which would explain its popularity at Microsoft. The downside was that various thick meats always came out cooked unevenly, some parts underdone and other parts overdone.  You can ONLY bake with it by specifying what food you're cooking from its pre-programmed recipe library (not manual time/temp), which explains the need for software/firmware updates. Their conclusion was that it might make sense for someone who regularly hosts large gatherings. And had sold their stock when it was high, presumably.

      <![CDATA[Since when does "can update the firmware" mean "will never be obsolete again"? I think it's extremely unlikely that these will still be running in twenty years, unlike regular ovens, many of which are still working perfectly after 50, 60, 70 years or more. What kind of computer were you using 70 years ago?
