[Grant Barrett]

Businessweek provides a good vaporware definition:

"Among the many brilliant ideas that have sustained Microsoft is vaporware. That's when you stifle an opponent's new-product release by leaking news that you're about to release a similar product that's even better. Maybe you never release it, or do so only years later. What's important is that you've killed the buzz about your competitor's product."
