    I have, I have a Logitech, and some Microsoft mice. And I wasn't bitching, some asked why a Mac user would buy a MS product over an Apple one, and I gave a valid example.

    I've been buying mostly Logitech mice myself. I've never had one die of normal use, usually just lost. I'm using the original Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard though. I've always had trouble with Apple's desktop keyboards not properly syncing the feel of a pressed key and the electronic signal, sometimes it would either show a double key press or not register a key press.

They have the money, they have the talent (or potential to get the talent). They just need better leadership. Money isn't going to get them out of everything...



    The problem, as I see it, Microsoft is not good at developing new ideas. They ripped of Digital Research to make DOS and Apple to make Windows, Lotus to make Excel, and so forth. Really new ideas are not part of the Microsoft culture, so the Zune was just another attempt to rip off Apple.



    Coupled with that mentality, Microsoft also had shown dismal marketing ability and I'm not talking about the Jerry Seinfeld debacle. It touches everything they do. This YouTube shorty really says it well:
