Surpass? You mean create at all, don't you?
Microsoft never made anything someone else didn't make first, I think. I doubt they'll ever go after iPod, it's hardware; though you would think they'd want to team up with Rio or Creative or some other manufacturer and release an MP3 player with Media Player as it's interface. It would probably take way too much of the players' storage though, judging by how big most of their software is. And Google was so far ahead before MS caught on, it's amazing MS even tried to compete. Well, maybe not compete, more like worm their way around the competition.
