Maybe it's because Microsoft has been putting on a Wizard of Oz type of show. Obviously the components are all there to make it a reality, but the way they've been handling it has been very controlled. Subconsciously people don't like that, they'd rather see the device's flaws for themselves if there are any, and forgive them.
Microsoft is overhyping it ahead of time, intead of just supporting it's own hype. They've done this with a lot of technologies including Windows 95, so even if it's orders of magnitude better than what they're saying, they still need to be able to let us see it properly. And talk about it properly.
They've been buying press like crazy for this thing, and swarming message boards with viral marketers. People may not consciously be aware of it, but they get the vibe and they know it. Microsoft needs to have a little more faith in their product if it's so great.
