Maybe that's what he meant by 'iPod.' That could return just a touch of his credibility, but .... not much. Besides, it's not like this music he mentions wasn't already on the WINDOWS PCs of users prior to their purchase. "Oh, I just got my iPod. Now, I will go download hella illegal music for the FIRST TIME!!" yeah, sure... Well, iPod is close to becoming a generic term, much like band-aid, or Kleenex. Maybe that's what he meant by 'iPod.'

If Ballmer ever shuts up it will create a huge thermonuclear explosion that will wipe off all life on earth. You may have better luck trying to shut up Howard Stern or O'Reilly. Can't be done.
