You seem to mistake "having to forcefully remove their favorite features to save their sales" with "listening".

You can't tell me that MS did want to remove everything because they like their customers so much. You can't tell me that they're happy about the changes they were forced to make. That's not "listening". That's grudgingly bowing to the market.

Yea, that's what companies do, they "bow to the market" or they lose. I don't think any company is noble or anything like that.

I dont think its the listening to the market that Jim was complaining about.... it's more so the lack of any real empathy that MS has shown in removing these features and crapping on users.... i.e they are selling "we removed DRM because the people weren't ready"... rather than.. OMG what a draconian method...etc

Not that I think any company would turn around and say such a thing, but I think they've not been as forthright as they could have been.
