always after the ever elusive profit margin. can’t have a product that lives forever became there’s no more profit after the market has been saturated.
they then take all the IP they have and either license the technology or sell it for a profit or loss depending on what is needed.
doesn’t matter though, because the consumer always loses.
I liked Zune. Microsoft is the real killer of their own demise. They have great products/ideas, but they just torch them before they take root.
For what it’s worth, Windows Phone was sort of a successor to that. And then they went and killed it too…
Ahem Sony ahem - referring to Minidisc which I thought was awesome but most Americans didn’t care.
