Even Microsoft Employees Agree
Looks like my explanation of why the iPod’s interface is good is echoed by Microsoft employees as well.
The Microsoft manager said he’s heard from several executives who dutifully bought Microsoft-powered players, tried them, failed to get them working, and returned them in favor of an iPod. He went through the same experience, he said.
It’s not just the hardware interface, it’s the software that makes it all work.
