Iain McDonald has some interesting things to say about iPods

I must be a sinner…

The one thing that is missed in all this cross cultural sniping about the iPod vs. Microsoft is that it’s a pretty good windows app (it could be better - for example handle multiple sessions in fast user switching…) - it doesn’t leak if it has been running for a while (I didn’t do a trace, I should have before I said that), has some good extra functions (their use of extended properties, while a little funky for me is good ui for a novice) & is pretty easy to use.

p.p.s. ok, I have to ask this ? why is apple seen as the politically correct company when they are farming out their production to China? Doesn?t anyone else think this is weird? I remember having a discussion with some people I know who were in the WTO protests here in Seattle a couple of years ago ? I asked them why they were wearing gap. Old navy & burton clothes ? obviously, some things are not correct to question because they have not talked to me soon. If you are protesting about globalization, support it with your own money (here is my plug for the best tshirts around ? American Apparel)

Iain McDonald is pretty darn important at Microsoft. I saw him speak once - he was pretty funny. So were his comments in this post.
