iTunes by Microsoft + message to iPod lovers:

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc,microsoft.public.smartphone (More info?)

release of Microsoft's clone of iTunes is imminent.
this is the very last step that proves that Apple Corporation is a very
direct competitor of Microsoft.

I suggest Microsoft to dump all those MVPs who are very very busy promoting
Apple iPod and denigrating Microsoft's product (like Windows Mobile and PMC)
as mobile players!!!! If Microsoft will continue MVP title for MVPs that
promote heavily Apple iPod - like Arne Hess and Jen. O. then it will mean
total stupidity and irresponsibility.

there is only one way Microsoft can beat Apple : by sponsoring/introducing
devices that will be directly competing with Apple's hardware: iPod. Apple
is using iTunes just as drive to power sales of iPod. Microsoft' can't
ignore iPod and release clone if iTunes. PMC are just first step.

the new Windows Media player and new DRM will (sooner or later) work also in
Pocket PC and Microsoft Smartphone.

wow, there are some changes coming and some things are becoming now very
very clear.

Can't you understand yet idiot? You can't drop people just because they
also sell a competitors product!! Its unfair something or other. Its like
a retailer refusing to sell their cakes to a supermarket because the
supermarket also sells a rivals cakes. Its seen as blackmail in business.

Maybe if you are too stupid to see this then its no wonder Nokia sacked you
and you can't get another job! And lets face it...the last thing Microsoft
needs is any bad news about bullying and unfair trading practises

BTW...hows life in the mens hostel going? Or is it a YMCA?

The original posting was filtered out by my news service provider.

The message was propagated by Neil Smith who reposted it- he is just as
guilty as the original poster of the attack- perhaps you should add his
posts to any deletion request?
And Si?

Your attempts at deletion of a posting is futile- once it is sent it is
propogated to many different news servers, usually one at every internet
service provider, and at archive sites like google. It's a nice gesture but
sorry- it won't remove a posting from the web.

The best thing with these postings is to ignore them and don't respond. If
you feel a burning desire to respond then don't repost the original
comments- it makes you just as guilty of propagating the comments as the
original poster.

Why did ipods catch on ??

They are bulkly compared to other large storage players and are completely
lacking any style.
I would go futher than say simply lacking style - they look cheap!


I am not just trying to cause an arguement - I really can't understand their
popularity.
