maybe, but isn't that how competition occurs; two or more companies with similar products, seeing who sells the most

Vista is very good actually.  Once they get some more updates in and all programs running on it I'll be upgrading.  Oh and yeah Sony has no originality at all.

Zune is waaaaay better than the iPod as well.  I speak from experience.  Oh and the PSP, really?  That has to be the worst excuse for a portable gaming device.

As a great philosopher said: "The only reason I could see farther than others is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants."
In other words, Microsoft was inspired by both Nintendo and Sony.

I think your a minority here. Remember Zune was supposed to be the iPod killer what did happen to that. And the PSP thing I agree is stupid. It is more of copying ipod because ipod has games.

BrokenDreams13
Agreed on both counts (from my experience too) Zune is just flat-out better than Ipod in every way. PSP is sort of (game machine,PDA,MP3,UMD) everything device that is equally bad at everything.

Ipod > Zune Agreed the zune is waay to big

Apple > Vista Not agreed they don't even fall in the same catagory

PS1 PS2 > Xbox Agreed

PS3 > Xbox360 Undiceaded

PSP > Zune I guess because PSP has games. Movies etc

Is that copycat? yes

Well, let's take a look

Ipod > Zune

As mentioned before, the Ipod was NOT the very first mp3 player invented, making this argument somewhat hypocritical.

Apple > Vista

I can't really comment on this one, as I've no idea on the subject.

PS1 PS2 > Xbox

If Microsoft copied the playstation consoles with the Xbox, then what did Sony copy?

PS3 > Xbox360

Xbox 360 was released about a year before the playstation 3 if I remember correctly.

PSP > Zune

Again, no idea. Im not actually entirely sure what a Zune is.

Ipod wasn't first mp3 player but (From what I know) it was first harddrive based MP3 player. MP3 players sucked before the ipod came out. You had to buy these 40mb disc and store music on them. Ipod made what the MP3 player we see today. And comeone the Zune is the biggest copycat we had ever seen. Everyone knows microsoft copied the ipod when they created the zune.

Technically in your reasoning Apple copied MP3 manufacturers by making their on MP3 player. And Sony copied Nintendo by entering the gaming industry, and the handheld industry. Tell me, is that not copycat?? In your logic of course....

M$ Realizes that their hope of the PC turning into the ultimate home media center is not panning out so they are covering their bases by branching out as a company, as if their monopoly on the world's PC business isn't enough, much like the oil companies scrambling to come up with something else to do when the world's oil runs out.
