Microsoft sucks and won't ever do anything as good as Apple.

I can't help but laugh because Microsoft has been copying Apple forever. Hell, that's how Microsoft got their really big start, copying the Mac OS. Microsoft tried to get Vista's Aero graphic layer to be like Aqua, but the underlying code was not optimized to work like Aqua, which is one of the primary reasons people hate Vista.

if you ask me, xbox would have been much better if MS made the software and vendors made the hardware.

I could be interested in a Zune phone (I actually prefer the Zune music player design over the iPod - I hate the clickwheel) - but it needs to be able to sync with my Mac before I'll take it seriously.

if you read my post you would see that i was saying Apple did the PDA wrong (even though in that case they had a lot of innovative tech). It wasn't until Palm came out that PDAs took off. They did with the PDA what apple did with the original macintosh, and the various other techs i listed above. You can say apple has a minor computer market share, but that's not really fair. Apple doesn't sell cheap computers - Their entry level laptop is $1100. You can buy a laptop at best buy for $500. Their entry level desktop is $700. You can buy a desktop pc for $300. Go to amazon and look at sales ranks of similarly priced computers and you will find that the iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro all outsell all of the competitors at similar price points. Apple does really well in the markets it sells to.
