Freedom to emulate

Microsoft's latest proposed innovation is an online music store that sounds just like Apple's. Also coming soon from MS: interfaces that users actually find appealing, advertising campaigns with flair, and a boss who wears black turtle-neck sweaters.

Not that they're trying to copy anyone, you understand.

Actually, I'd just settle for an operating system that doesn't crash quite so often. This from the NY Times (pointed to by Slashdot):

Mr. Gates acknowledged today that the company's error reporting service indicated that 5 percent of all Windows-based computers now crash more than twice each day.

And presumably those are just the ones they know about. <sigh>
