I am amused to hear so many lectures on the importance of market share from iPod users. I remember when Macs had REAL market share, and an absurd technological lead over PCs. The idea that Microsoft could take over the market with their vastly inferior Windows was once considered absurd by Apple users. Not by me though. I knew that people wanted choices.
Already by adding subscription support Microsoft compatible players have an edge in technology. The importance of that edge isn't apparent to everyone, but then the importance of a GUI wasn't immediately apparent to everyone. All the iPods have is fashion (which changes) and a GUI. That hasn't been enough to keep the Mac in the race.
