Good. They should tackle Apple next about abusing their power with iPods to push iTunes.

 

you know there are other mp3 players out there. and if you reallly really dont like itunes there are 3rd party products, but getting mad at apple for ipod/itunes is like getting mad at apple for mac/osx   for them its one product.

 

on top of that you dont have to use the itunes store, itues gladly takes your cds, or other nonportected files like the ones for amazon. and if you want to strip an itunes songs drm all you have to do is burn it to a cd  (playlists are limited to 3 burns, but each track has no limit)

 

also apple/itunes has no where near the strangle hold on mp3 player, music sales, music jukebox programs, that  MS had/has on the browser market.

 

 Just like how people could just buy another Operating System? It's pretty much the exact same thing, lol.

I guess you missed i listed the view of the device/os in there.

I also put in there apple has nowhere near the control that MS does/did in its os, and web-browsers and went on to describe the differences. if your not going to post a thought out reply, with points in it, why even do so?

 

 

 

 I was under the impression that Apple has around 75% of the marketshare for iPods... that's way less than what Microsoft has with IE.

I post crap because I like to see my post count go up, it's my little e-penis (tbh, I just skimmed your post and read "there are other mp3 players out there", to which I responded "there are other OS' out there - as it's a parallel of what happened with Microsoft and what this thread was originally about, I apologise, I should have read your post more thoroughly).
