Its no wonder that Microsoft is doing so poorly these days:
The Zune has failed to take off like they thought,
the XBox 360 will cost them an additional Billion and a half,
Everyone hates Vista,
It just keeps on coming. ????????? MS, what is up with you.??
While the Toshiba Gigabeat (Zune) is an OK mp3 player, when they added all that DRM and then locked it into their own music site, Microsoft killed the chances for the Zune from taking off. Now they are getting ready to come out with a larger Zune and ??? flash based Zunes to battle the iPod crazy.
Why? And if they really want to be in the consumer market, what is taking them so long to get going???
We all know that Microsoft really does not care about what the consumer really wants, they just care about what they can sell us. They have stated that from the beginning. But they are so really, really bad at deciding what we will buy, that its pathetic. Sorry, but unless you are a Microsoft fanboy, you have to wonder howcome the company keeps throwing more and more money after projects that just do not pay, unless they have some ulterior motive (world domination repeat, just like with the OS). ???
