I wouldn't be so quick to condemn him as the line that preceded your quote was, "Apple said it had not yet decided whether to introduce a version of the music player for computers with the Windows operating system, which is used by more than 90 percent of personal computer users."
If Apple hadn't made iTunes available for Windows machines, there's a very likely possibility that the iPod wouldn't have taken off the way it did.
- jcc80 15y agoAh, got it. Thanks.

By even that February I recall the iPod Mini being a grand slam seller. The combination of Windows availability and the Mini being an option at a lower price point were when the stars seemed to have aligned for the iPod.
