I've heard it before. 'Sucks' is not a good enough word to describe it.

Frankly, these Beryl videos can only impress a six year old. Apart from the rotating cube, none of the effects offer anything better (functionality wise) when compared to Mac OS X. The wiggly windows and extreme use of transparency are a pain to watch. Vista, of course, could use some major improvements.

Yeah, I did. That famous BSoD. I've seen it a few times before too. :lol:

But you've got to realise that it was Windows 98 (or perhaps 95)... (though even Vista is not free of BSoDs).

Microsoft needs to learn something or rather copy something from Apple, marketing techniques.

If Apple can make a failed product into success then MS can obviously make there good products into break through success.

Let me say this in clear terms. iPod lacks many features which are provided by better mp3 players out there. However it is only Apple Marketing due to which iPod is a success. Actually if you look at the graphics you will realize that iPod is success in USA & Canda only, in Europe customars use many other products like iRiver etc, with there first choice being Mp3 phones like W810i.

Harddisk based mp3 players were available long before iPod. However, they were a failure due to big size etc. iPod came out with a small device which used to play only mp3s & MP4s but despite of this it sold cos it was better then what was available at that time. Add to it Apple's viral marketing & iPod came out to be a success.

6 years down the line there are far better players, & anyone non-American prefers buying someting non-Ipod. For gods sake it doesn't even comes with a FM Tuner.

does microsoft sponsors online forums?

Yup, MSDN & technet forums

True.Cross my heart! I would never have given iPod a thought if it were not an Apple Product.That after i bought it i released it didnt have inbuilt recording , or Fm.
And yes its also over price like its accessories .In ipods griffin you get another music player.
Apple does generate hype and moolah. So marketing does work.
But this time i am so sure Steve Jobs has hit himself in foot by declaring iPhone too early.
The expectation are huge.Remember iPod didint had so many expectation to face when it was launched.People used it and it worked until Apple started advertising and its sales increased a lot.
But here is iPhone. Hyped and advertised to death.That pregnant women advt of iphone made me sure apples hit the roof.And this late release timing is really bad.Because first most of the phone are catching up to it.
Remember what usually happens with products with whom you have huge expectations. More often than not they fall.
Iphone is sailing the most hyped expectation boat.Without 3G!!! i dont know how they even decided on it.That lack of dedicated tactile keyboard is sure going to hit them on the stomach.

The world is using 3G and i want to lay my hands on it as soon as it comes and trust me buddy it coming soon.
If one were contented with whatever one had , then i still had been using 1998 nokia 5510 mobile.
By buying ipod i had extra money it seems as music players with lesser price tags had more features than an ipod.But like you missed the point, i said i went for ipod only due to Apples marketing.
When you pay its not acting sissy.

"Everything lacks.....but the "everything" is not so expensive and not so marketed....the "everything" is bought for the features and not for the brand.....

Like Nike and Reebok...its brand marketing rather than product marketing....

LOL! Microsoft isn't successful with their (incorrect adjective censored) products!? Specially Windows? Who are you kidding!

LOL! Every other product the company makes is being supported through the profits generated from Windows and Office. They are friggin' standards. How much more success do you want?

Microsoft is a marketing company and the last thing they need to learn from someone else is marketing. :lol:

LOL! Owned. :D

@gx_saurav
The sheer quality of the product has nothing to do with it? It is only the marketing, right? Guess what, there isn't a single iPod advert that appears between Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and yet, it is spectacularly successful in India. At least in New Delhi, nine out of ten people in my college owned an iPod.

Like I've said before: "more features != better".

Answer this.

I'll tell you the answer, iPods have a near monopoly in the music player segment and it is extremely difficult to trump a product that enjoys a monopoly in the market even if you have a far superior product (that is not to say that the Zune is a far superior product when compared to the iPod). The inertia factor comes into play. (As an aside, no one knows this better than Apple. ;))

:shock: Which advertisement are you talking about? There are four official iPhone adverts from Apple. Three of them do not feature people at all. The first one was only aired on Oscar night and it featured a lot of scenes from Hollywood movies with the actors saying the word 'Hello' into phones. That's it. Maybe one of them was pregnant but I have no idea why you are relating the two. It could just as easily have been any other scene. :confused:

Dude even if iPhone had came with 3G support than you would not able to use 3G as India will leap directly to 4G..

And on Retrospecting Nokia history Iphone may also release product as iPhone-X with 4G support.

Theme is that Indian should'nt think & cry of non-availability of 3G uptil supporting technology is not present...

Yes you are right.Probably India will got for 4G by skipping everything such as GPRS,edge .
The theme is Human Nature. Grass is always greener on the other side.Its deep instinct to wish for what we dont have which is the only reason we progress.If people dont have basic telephone facility they will still ask and carve for Mobile phone whenever they see it.
The world is not perfectly utophian .
If we dont have ,the crux is go and get it!
The World is not Enough!
