Microsoft, in comments about the new Apple-HP deal to sell co-branded iPods, had this to say:
Thursday the company appeared unprepared for the Apple-Hewlett agreement, which clearly stung Microsoft executives. They said the agreement would limit choice and harm consumers.
“Windows is about choice, you can mix and match all of this stuff,” said David Fester, general manager of Microsoft’s Windows digital media division. “We believe you should have the same choice when it comes to music services.”
I am laughing my ass off right now. I guess I needn’t comment about the huge monopoly rattling on about “limiting choice.”
