What should Microsoft do to get an iCattle-like groundswell?

Last week, Apple’s new iPhone 5 went on sale.

As is usual with iDevices, the iPhone 5 first sale day has the news airwaves filled with stories of several iCattle waiting in line for a chance to procure and possess one of these magical devices.

Since this was a situation I hadn’t seen in Windows World since The Rolling Stones started us up for Windows 95, which, in the tech universe, is more than an eon ago.

Flummoxed, I decided to ask my Twitter friends and followers what they thought Microsoft needed to do to create this same sort of groundswell.

There you go!

Basically: consumer, Consumer, CONSUMER!!!

Any doubt that Microsoft HAS a lot of work to do in the consumer space?
