Microsoft abandons Zune media players in defeat by Apple's iPod
AppleInsider | Microsoft abandons Zune media players in defeat by Apple's iPod
I think MS have a bad habit if entering into battles too late. After the competition is already established. And trying to compete this year with last year's technology is a recipe for failure. It's best they pull out of these bad practices and try enter a battle they have a chance to win. So this news though bad in a way I think is good for MS. Now they can focus on what they are good at.

Microsoft's direct effort to challenge Apple's iPod, introduced in 2006 under the Zune brand, is being abandoned after a failure to gain traction in the market.
