IPOD Nano.

I am a convert. And I am not ashamed to say so. I absolutely love IPOD nano. The user interface, or is it usability...is superb. There are good reasons why APPLE is successful. It isn't fluke. Enough of it.
The oher day I read an interview of Bill Gates. When asked about success of Ipod, he was saying something which goes like this. " Apple tasted success wtih a great product. But look at best digital product that's in market now. XBOX 360. TO tranfer music from one gadget to another. Anywhere in home...."
Huh, I don't think there is anybody who wants to carry a XBOX 360 in his pocket. Why do these big business guys refuse to admit their failures or success of others?
I know there are many people who hate microsoft for myriad reasons. There is every chance that I am inspired by them. But I have my own reasons not to like Microsoft.
I don't want to talk about crashes, data losses,.. They typically over promise, under deliver,..
Why they didn't care to update Internet Explorer for so long till Firefox became a credible alternative.
Why my Hotmail had only 2 Mb of storage for eons. Why my Gmail account of few months old has no single spam mail in Inbox and Hotmail has only spam? Why does it take competition to appear to improve your services.
I can go on and on. I am foced to believe that Microsoft isn't a positive factor for world. Reliance:India::Microsoft:World
