Microsoft Chided Over Exclusive Music Idea

Posted by samzenpus on from the musical-monopoly dept.

grumpyman writes "The federal judge overseeing Microsoft Corp.'s business practices scolded the company Wednesday over a proposal to force manufacturers to tether iPod-like devices to Microsoft's own music player software. Microsoft blamed the proposal on a newly hired, "lower-level business person" who did not understand the company's obligations under the antitrust settlement."

    Good thing you went anonymous with that post, otherwise you would have been modded down for dissing Apple (in spite of the fact it's true).

    I don't care if I get modded down, so feel free.

    Wow, how ridiculous...

    We all know only Apple can do things like this, and get praise for doing it at the same time...

    iTunes anyone?
