Microsoft unveils iPod killer
Bill Gates announced yesterday the launch of a new music service that is obviously aimed at dethroning Apple iTunes. Called Urge (coming soon), it has over 2 million tracks for purchase or as part of an all-you-can eat subscription. The service extends to TV as well with a partnership with DirectTV.
What's interesting is Microsoft's partnership with Intel around Viiv, which was earlier rumored to power Apple's next generation Mac Mini with DVR capabilities. Can't wait for the MacWorld Expo next week now :)
