Because everything that's wrong with the world is Steve Ballmer's fault, and Bill Gates is an angel that only does what people like.

The significant vector in this argument is that of quality. At all stages hitherto, all the media devices in the aforeattached sketch offered music or film in a vastly reduced quality and state, i.e

Radio = white noise and aerials
TV = white noise and aerials
cassette tapes = hissed and wore out
video = hissed and wore out

Clearly the rules of the game are and have been changing since the availability of public broadband, and mass storage devices. I have more memory in my phone, than in my computer a decade ago.

The entertainment industry was caught fast asleep, still making $$$$$ and £££££ from deficient technology. Had they grasped that people wanted to have their music and film on devices wherever they went they would have invested in technology. As it is Apple demonstrated just what a deep sleep the entertainment have been in, and are still attempting to awaken from, and are trying to bolt the stable door, after the horse has bolted.
