You can [sadly] substitute IE9 for quite a few different products from MS where the demo come out so early that by the time of release, competition is well ahead.

ZuneHD was initially announced cheaper than the comparable iPod touch - by the time it shipped (9 months later), apple had dropped the price on its product. HP Slate announced before iPad but available after.

Microsoft really doesn't understand how to market themselves.

They do understand how to market themselves. They try to appear more competitive than they really are.
