Origami is the quintessential old-skool Microsoft project: develop the platform and the software, then let "partners" screw up the actual devices. No different than Plays For Sure.
It's clear they're taking the Apple/Xbox approach: end to end. Third parties only come into play with accessories. Hype? Yeah, again: Apple. Xbox.
As an Apple fanboy (who uses a Microsoft mouse), I'm excited to see what they've come up with. They'll probably make a couple of mistakes, but there will surely be some innovation in there too.
