Ex-Microsoftie Robbie Bach: We should’ve skipped the Zune player; we ended up chasing Apple




MacDailyNews Take: Apple saved the music industry. Apple didn’t “erase” value, they added value by making a product that anybody with half a brain can find for free into something that people will pay for anyway. Without Apple there would be no major music labels today. Apple did it by making music easier and more convenient to buy than to steal. Microsoft never could have achieved that feat. They don’t have the ability to make things simple and enjoyable. They never have; it’s not in their DNA. Everything they touch turns to pain in the end users’ hands. Bach is wrong. If he knew what he was talking about he’d still have a job and Microsoft wouldn’t be floundering around like a fish on dry land today.
