Reply With QuoteThat is funny....he says it limits the choice of Windows users...that they are used to have a variety of options. Looks like they have already chose considering that the iPod has over 30% of the digital media player market. Since when was M$ an advocate of consumer choice.

Microsoft: iTunes Store too limited for Windows users http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/...0/17/msitunes/
Well well well, Microsoft reacts big to a small application from Apple! I guess we all know why don't we?
Anything criticized by M$ is meant to be good. Good surprising move from Apple.
Limited choice you said? Well, how ironic of M$ to make such a statement.

It sounds like Windows users do not share the opinion of the Product Manager !

This is going to make Bill cry out loud. Maybe form an alliance to fight the "Apple's" Devil.
Should Dave Fester make another statement admitting that he should think twice before saying things he shouldn't have said?
As Chevy wrote: "... it seems as if Windows users do not share the Product Manager's opinion!..."
M$ has one option though... a blackmail.

I'm playing with it on my desktop PC. It's a nice app, really. It certainly makes PC users wonder why Windows looks so bad behind that nice iTunes window. :P
Rendezvous working very, very fine. Maybe I'll have a sound server in my apartment now after all?

Heh, M$ making that comment? Funny, I think how all the word documents that are not made with the latest and most expensive version of M$ Office refuse to be opened with any other form of M$ Office ....
Maybe they meant windows users will miss their realplayer files etc? :-/Mac Mini Server | MacBook Pro | iPhone | Other Macs + a bunch of iPods, Newtons and other toys
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
