You know I've been thinking a lot lately about the Microsoft and Apple partnership and I've done some research and I now think this really is a story about two kids who together decided they were going to carve up the entire planet. The cross-patent deal from '97 proves this agreement is still in play. This is why Vista is a clone of OS X - not because they copied but because that was the deal which guaranteed Apple's survival. Apple has a lot to be grateful for, but the deal ended in 2002. Now Apple's out on it's own two legs running quickly - winning the world over by it's own merits. Let's be happy consumers and let people make their choices. I don't think the Zune phone is anything to worry about - in fact it's great news.
