Microsoft vs. Apple
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2004 1:57 amMicrosoft Plans Online Music Store
Microsoft Corp., hoping to take a bite out of Apple Computer Inc.'s highly popular online music service, is gearing up to launch its own Web site for selling songs over the Internet.
.....Microsoft has come from behind plenty of times and still managed to dominate, thanks to its broad reach with products like Windows and ability to play catch-up quickly.
In basic terms, Microsoft Corp.'s new digital music store comes down to this: Download songs for 99 cents each, then listen to them on a computer, burn them to a CD or transfer them to a portable music player.
