Ammount of Sales = / = Better.

Don't worry, it's a common misconception. I think you agree with me, too... after all, consider Mac sales vs Windows. I don't suppose you see Windows as better :P]]>Sep 4th 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/
This isn't the first time either. What do they do- wait until they know Apple's event date to have their own at the same time?]]>Sep 4th 2008 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/
They aren't trying to overshadow Apple. I think they had the date first. Engadget has a story about this event from 8 days ago. They've had the date set for a while. And Apple just announced the date of their event this week. If anything, Apple picked their day to overshadow Microsoft. Although I doubt that's the case either. ]]>Sep 4th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/
I rather suspect that Microsoft was disappointed to discover that Apple is making their announcement on the same day. Certainly this means that Microsoft won't get much coverage from their launch, although I have no idea how big a deal this is for them. Apple clearly invests quite a bit in their announcements but it is unclear whether Microsoft is giving a demonstration or simply updating their product catalog online. Regardless, I can't see anyone being sufficiently interested in the prospect of "saying goodbye to laser" that Apple will be overshadowed.]]>Sep 5th 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/Sep 4th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/Sep 4th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/Sep 4th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/

More = Superior?

So by your logic, Macs are completely pathetic compared to Windows PCs, right? Thought so. And here I was thinking you were an OSX kid.]]>Sep 4th 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/

By investing in an Apple product you get the added joy of also purchasing all the version specific peripherals. Come the following year, you get the privilege of buying the next version of the Apple DAP because 1) your batteries are near dead and irreplaceable or 2) there is one or two added feature. Of course, Apple needs to add value, so you get perk 3) a new form factor. Nice, now you can repurchase a new set of version specific peripherals.

Don't forget you just doubled your contribution to Apple's sales count (quantity).

But seriously, If sites like this did their jobs, which after ignoring Google Chrome, Photosynth, and other noteworthy products I'm not holding my breath, then both sets of products will get ample coverage, and everyone will be happy.

However after reading this:

"but Microsoft's going to have to reach deep into the wow box to steal attention from a certain black-turtlenecked raconteur who'll be taking the stage in Cupertino to announce some minor new PMPs that day as well."

I'm expecting the same old, stale, rah-rah blogvertisement coverage for Apple I was hoping left with Ryan Block.]]>Sep 4th 2008 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/and then page 32Z Windows Zune??]]>Sep 4th 2008 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/microsoft-planning-new-zunes-and-webcams-on-september-9th/ MsgBox("Engadget should not have to cover them.")
