Apple as a Target

"Ah, ya know, I remember, a decade ago, when Microsoft was in every company's cross hairs and Apple was basically irrelevant. The world has turned upside down."

Yeah. It's a wonder, but we do see a strong difference in responding to the challenge then and now.

Msft knifed Netscape and was found guilty of monopolistic 'malpractice'.

Apple will take these guys out by out innovating w/ products, ecosystems, quality, security, and marketing. No contest.

DECE will either die and go away or succeed in being adopted by Apple.

And then they'll still need to deal with trying to make money in Apple's iWorld!

Consortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple

Erick,

Hate to break it to you, but this is Msft trying to take over DRM. Haven't you noticed?

Msft has failed (till now) with its crapware, but just wait until the new standard is announced! What a surprise when this thing appears to be somewhat advantageous to msft! Who'd a thunk?

Msft leading a collusive attack on it's enemies (In this case Apple and Disney.) is Msft doing what it does best.

Apple innovates the future.

Msft innovates collusion.
