“We were smoked”

That’s Microsoft’s Jim Allchin back in 2003. Good story here on CNET about how El Jobso just took Redmond to the cleaners when he unveiled iTunes.  Money quote from Beastmaster Bill:

“We need some plan to prove that even though Jobs has us a bit flat-footed again, we move quick, and both match and do stuff better.”

Well, that “better” part is debatable.
