Welcome to My World Michael Kanellos at Cnet writes about the uncertainty of product design and how it affects high technology product development. Too often, companies mistake the fact that a product or feature can be built, with the fact of whether consumers want it. The only solution, even if it's partial, is to actually test products with consumers. But even asking the consumers what they want doesn't always lead to a highly popular product: just ask anyone who has tried to sell Linux to consumers.
