These two things are ~20 years apart. I don't think Microsoft in 2000 could have made iPod, but Apple also these days commonly fault on software experience.
> the Microsoft Zune was definitely a dud
I'm not too sure. There's a directly line from the Microsoft Zune to Window's modern design language. I don't think that's too much of a dud.
- bredren 4y agoI agree it wasn’t a dud, it was just way too late. It was followed far too closely by iPhone / iPod touch. Gates was at the debut of the product though. I had an original Zune in Brown and helped organize the first pre-release public zune ~fan demo (that I know of.) It was held at my buddy’s tea shop on green lake.
