Or, at least the first 2 implementation details. Microsoft usually takes 2 revisions before it gets things ironed out ... Apple has it down to 1 revision.

Internet Explorer has had six so far and it's about as ironed out as a wrinkly shirt.

That would have to be revision C

Because revision A never seems to work right.

Soapbox? I'm really beginning to think MS will take on every market that exists.

OH MY GOD!

I visited http://soapbox.msn.com/ and almost puked! First you watch that video... and then when you try to close the window... it asks you if you want to navigate away from the site.

PUKE!

According to this study 58% of the iPod users consider switching to Microsoft's Zune player. That's not a good result for Apple.

I don't buy that, frankly. I think a lot of people don't understand what changing players would entail, for one thing. They may not realize that iTunes/iTS doesn't work with the Zune, for example.
