Both Apple and Microsoft have some great things going for them. Windows XP and Mac OS X are two excellent operating systems that any user would feel equally comfortable in, given a bit of experience. Both are equally stable and feature rich. Apple's iPod is an excellent product. They took a good idea and refined it into a solid piece of machinery. It's not fair to say at this point that Microsoft will try to use their monopolistic power to gain market share with a sub-par product. Redmond has done its fair share of innovating in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised if the so-called X-Pod impresses everyone with its features and stability when and if it ever gets released. But no matter what Microsoft does, Apple has already taken the first step. Microsoft will be forever blamed for copying a Mac idea, even if, in the end, the Microsoft product ends up better. Buy a product based on its merit, not based upon the company produces it. |

I think it is fair to say that Microsoft will try to use their monopolistic power. Microsoft has already disparaged the iPod for not supporting WMA.
The only thing in doubt is whether they will be pushing a 'sub-par product.'
