Microsoft confirms plan to take on Apple’s iPod

Update: Microsoft confirms plan to take on Apple’s iPod

Microsoft did not give specific information on exactly how the new products will work together, but said it plans to help build a community for connecting customers to new music and other entertainment in addition to offering new hardware and software.”It’s probably safe to say that this project will place Microsoft in path with iPod/iTunes at some points, but Zune is a much broader, holistic project,” the company said via e-mail.

Don’t get me started on this one…oh well, I already started a post so it is too late! What’s the deal with Microsoft? Must they dominate the entire computer world? If they were creating outstanding Operating Systems that would be one thing. But the problems with their OS’s are very well documented. Yet they continue to use their monopoly to exploit other areas. You and I both know what they will do. The products will work seemlessly with Media Player which ships on the OS. So consumers can either purchase their product which is basically preinstalled or one of their competitors which they must install themselves. MS please go back to the business that has gotten you this far. Please give us a dependable, secure Operating System that isn’t bloated and requires huge hardware upgrades. Is that too much to ask?
