Scoble Ignites Wrath

So, Scoble ranted about how Microsoft is getting its butts kicked all over the place by the iPod, and about what needs to change. People are pissed at him.

Yeah, it was an insulting rant. Who cares? He's right. Jeez. Google needs a kick in the pants, too, but anyone who steps out and tries to criticize them will get eaten alive by the blogosphere.

Still, back on topic, Scoble's only right if Microsoft wants to beat Apple now. MS took years to beat Palm, but did it by offering cheaper, more advanced products until Palm ceded the marketplace to them. There's no reason Microsoft might not be taking the same tactic with Windows Media devices. In fact, don't be surprised if that's exactly what happens.
