Ontogeny may not recapitulate phylogeny, but Microsoft recapitulates everybody, even if it means they have to toss a few million bucks into the lawyer's pit. At least in this case they were honest about it. From 9/16 NYT. The rest of the column is boring. nytimes.com Edit: Pogue's reference to a Microsoft "manger" may or may not be Freudian. --QS FROM THE DESK OF DAVID POGUE Considering Microsoft's ITunes Store Published: September 16, 2004 On Sept. 2, Microsoft unveiled its iTunes Music Store. That sentence may sound a little strange, but that is, in fact, what happened. The Microsoft music store (in beta at music.msn.com) couldn't look more like Apple's iTunes music store (itunes.com) if you ran it through a copying machine."Apple set the bar very high," a Microsoft manger (sic --QS) admitted. "We're trying to match that. We told our developers, 'Look at how Apple does it.'"
