industry, where you’ve got all these companies and some does one thing
and another does another thing. It just doesn’t work. What’s going to
happen is that Microsoft is going to have to get into the hardware
business of making MP3 players. This year. X-player, or whatever.</I></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.applematters.com/index.php/section/comments/want_to_marginalize_the_ipod_ask_steve_jobs_how/"><P>With this realization, we now see Steve’s comment not as a roadmap but
as bait. Were Microsoft to jump headlong into the digital audio player
market there would be strong incentive to Apple to begin licensing
FairPlay. Manufacturers would be forced to choose between two
mainstream options: A) go with Microsoft or B) Go with Apple. In the
past, the no-brainer has been to go with Microsoft. This time the
obvious choice is different.
