So, M$ really thinks that they're going to single-handedly destroy MP3. Right. I also have a bridge to sell you.
MP3 is a revolution. It changed the paradigm of how music is distributed. Now M$ decides to step in and say "oh, we don't support the evil MP3 format". Well guess what? This is going to sway so many users away from using XP. Between the MP3 issue, and the way that M$ is forcing users to register their XP installations, I see the install base of M$ Windows users dwindling. People like ease of use, they don't want to be forced to call M$ every time their hard drive goes down or they have to reinstall Windows. Also, even though there's a RUMOR going around that XP may limit MP3 encoding by the software, there are a lot of users out there that use and love MP3. There are so many hardware devices on the market that I don't see MP3 going away anytime soon, no matter what Bill sez.
I love my Mac. Come to OS X, the water's nice.
