Talk:Out of the box

Merge
"out of the box" and "out-of-box experience" have distinct meanings. "out of the box" applies to products, mainly software, which works as expected with minimal user adjustments or intervention. "out-of-box experience" refers to the good or bad reactions which result from the unboxing, setup and initial use of computer products mainly. I propose to remove the merge request quickly.Snafflekid (talk) 21:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete this article
There's already an article on Thinking outside the box. This article does not bring anything different from it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrincodi (talk • contribs) 01:46, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree it should be deleted but primarily because out of the box is an adjective not a noun and adjectives belong in a dictionary not an encyclopedia.mtmoore321 —Preceding undated comment added 17:01, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
