Apple distinguishes itself once again
I believe that takes a very honest businessman to stand up and do the right thing, over what will make your company the most money. Jobs has stepped up and shown that with the push to make downloads DRM free, Apple is above the norm in business. Apple could have easily pulled a Microsoft and do whatever it takes to maximize profits, even at the expense of their users. Apple has the potential to lose a lot of money down the road now that you can move music to any player, free of DRM. Yet they did it anyway. I applaud the move. And in the end, I believe it will only improve Apple's image and business.

And you know, Stitch, when Jobs says the iPod has been successful based on its merits, he really believes that, and he behaves accordingly. He is not afraid of competition as long as companies are playing by the rules. He'll put Apple's products against anyone's on a level field. He doesn't feel the need to try to "squeeze" the competition out - he just wants the consumer to make the choice! My respect for the man increases everyday.
