Scoble reports on the coolness of the iPod nano - people at the MS PDC are buzzing about it. Apple's marketing is firing on all cylinders - the nano almost makes me wish I hadn't bought an iPod mini. Heck, I'm considering buying one anyway, and sliding the mini off to my daughter.

Back to Microsoft - there's nothing they make that inspires that kind of desire in the marketplace. I don't know if that's actually a problem - large market share and profits are kind of a reward all by themselves :)
