Interesting

"Hey, not taking a thing from the IPod, but the truth is they just
don't have the complete delivery system MS has built nor the
industry (RIAA - MPAA) agreements."

But hey, didn't Microsoft agree to stop illegally leveraging their
monopoly power to try to take over other markets? This is
exactly the kind of illegal behavior that's gotten them hauled
into court over and over again. You're one of their biggest
supporters, and you're admitting that the only way they can win
is by violating anititrust law?

"Argue if you like, but do it a year from now when we can who is
left standing."

That's a little disingenuous, don't you think? Come what may,
who do you think is more likely to be left standing, a company
with $60 billion in the bank or one with about five percent of
that? I think you'd have to be crazy to think that either company
is likely to fold in the next year, so it's difficult to understand
what you even mean by that.

If you mean, which company will still be a contender in this
particular market, again, I'm 100% certain that both will be.
Apple, because they are and will continue to be the leader in this
market for the foreseeable future, and Microsoft because they
have the cash on hand to continue to fail in any given market for
years on end. Just look at the tablet PC market.
