Mr. Glazer: Steve is a friend of Bill
From a NY Times article:
"Real understands how incredibly powerful the Microsoft music initiative will be," said Richard Doherty, a computer industry consultant and president of Envisioneering. "I don't think that Jobs understands this. He doesn't realize how big the juggernaut is about to get."

In his e-mail message to Mr. Jobs, Mr. Glazer said that he was reaching out to Mr. Jobs before making a move to switch camps. Mr. Glaser said he was surprised that the proposal had been leaked.

"Why is Steve afraid of opening up the iPod?" he asked in a telephone interview. "Steve is showing a high level of fear that I don't understand."


This isn't fear.
Apple makes products that sell at a premium. Microsoft sells to people unwilling or unable to pay that premium. Steve wants Apple to keep on being Apple.
I suppose Glazer figures everybody has to feel as vulnerable as he.

By the way, didn't comment on the commentary because I agree with it. "Yes, that's right" seemed a pretty bland post.
