Microsoft is undaunted by iPod's big lead | |

California Steve Jobs has promised that Apple Computer's iPod will become "the Walkman of the 21st century," but for that to happen, Jobs must do what he failed to do in the 1980s: prevail over his old nemesis, Bill Gates, who sees entertainment as Microsoft's next great frontier. A few weeks ago, Gates, Microsoft's chairman, paced around his office overlooking the rolling hills of suburban Seattle and recalled an advertisement Apple made 25 years ago. "When IBM came out with their PC, Apple ran an ad saying, 'Welcome,"' said Gates. "They haven't yet run the ad welcoming us into the music business. Apple should." | ||

| Steve Jobs has learned from past mistakes and gained a lot of wisdom in the last couple of decades. His tremendous work with Pixar animation studio proves that he now knows how to play and win. The iPod will remain on top for the foreseeable future. |

bob, never, never, never count ms out.
it has resources that other companies can only dream about. if ms wants that space they will eventaully wear out the competition (jobs is clearly well aware of this). business is war and in war the company with the deepest pockets usually wins. the only issue is how bad ms want this biz. |
