>> Making money is certainly the most important benchmark but also taking away marketshare or sales from a competitor can certainly be considered success.

Microsoft was late to both browsers and game players but in the end became "A or THE" MAJOR force in both.<<

Don -

So if Microsoft is willing to buy market share by selling Zune for less than their cost, and they succeed in doing so, you'll consider the product a success?

Steve Jobs is accused of having a big ego. What about Gates and Ballmer? They've made Microsoft a force in both of those markets only by either giving away the product or selling it at a loss.

To what end? How does that benefit the shareholders? Isn't it just that they can't stand to see anybody succeed in a market they're not in?
