As I recall, three years ago these guys the music labels were wandering around with their hands out looking for someone to save them. It'd be rather silly to try to destabilize Steve Jobs, because iTunes is one of the few bright spots in the industry right now. He's got something that's working.
This is some low-hanging fruit. Apple tried to sell the lack of a screen as a feature with the Shuffle, so the Shuffle is easy to compete against. But you have to look at the whole environment. Apple's iPods are doing fabulous and their online music store, iTunes, is No. 1.
That's a different one. I think that obviously people are more apt to go to the more quicker online reality, just like people don't buy records anymore because they can just go listen to them online, iTunes , or whatever it is. At the same time, I still think there's something to be said about the people that are real diehard fans that want something physical in there hands.

Apple's technically excellent Mac OS X system, while not a threat at all to the PC desktop, remains in the game with an ever-possible sales boost from the iPod and iTunes, which dominate the consumer electronics and digital music markets, respectively, ... Much of Microsoft's problems are related to corporate culture, and that won't be fixed by Microsoft's recent reorganization. Microsoft is far too big a company with far too many levels of executives, to move quickly and seize on new market trends. Windows Vista, as a result, is fighting the OS battles of the last decade, reacting rather than being proactive and innovative. Mac OS X users, for example, can point to many of Vista's features and correctly note that they appeared first on Apple's system, sometimes years ago. For Microsoft, a company that desperately wants to be seen as an innovator, this situation is untenable... All that said, Windows Vista is now on track.
