Recently, Tom Krazit at CNET pointed out that Microsoft had played into Apple's hands with the company's latest advertising campaign. The approach effectively conceded that Macs offer a better computing experience and that all that PCs have to offer is a price advantage -- at least one on initial purchase. But rather than maintain its market position, Apple has decided to fight back, undercutting its brand and historically effective competitive strategies.

The other day I compiled a series of questions for the Associated Press, given that the organization has indicated that it plans some strategy to deal with sites that "walk off with our work under misguided legal theories."

Being popular can be dangerous if the attention brings liabilities. Microsoft found that true when, back in 2005 and 2006, many of the new Xbox 360s developed the "red ring of death," eventually forcing the company in 2007 to extend the product warranty and take over a billion dollar charge to cover the necessary repairs and replacements. Now there's a new problem, called the E74 error, that is also causing a hardware failure and shaping to be not just another public black eye, but, given the volume of Xbox 360s that have sold, possibly the source of another massive charge to cover unit replacements.

Last week, the Associated Press put the online publishing world on notice about the organization's new "content protection initiative" . AP's idea is to protect news content from misappropriation online.

Talk about a standard corporate response. But this is an issue that could cause major disputes online, so even if they won't take the following questions, I thought it would be good to get them out into the open.
