Weblog:   A $50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!!

I have found that most of the time Microsoft has done a better job and making software then other companies have. People call Microsoft a monopoly but the truth is Apple is more of a monopoly then microsft ever was or is. Apple sells their own hardware, not allowing 3rd parties get involved. A company that tries to control all areas of their computer is a monopoly. Microsoft has only made software, they never got into hardware. Apple is the true monopoly.

    "Apple sells their own hardware, not allowing 3rd parties get involved" This is only because Apple canot aford to sell only software. They can hardly stay sfloat as it is, selling computers and the OS. If they just sold the OS ($130) insted of the computers ($800-$52,000[i checked the site... this is as high as a system gets]) they would take a large profit cut. I agree that in the long run it would be better for them, but i'm not sure if they could stay in buisiness off the money they got from contracting the 3rd party company untill such time as it becomes a profitable venture. Just my 2 cents is all.

    "Microsoft has only made software, they never got into hardware."

    Unless you count mice, keyboards, video game consoles, joysticks, etc. as hardware.

      Got news for you. They made the software for that NOT the hardware.
