| Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, is spending
| hundreds of millions of dollars on Zune to make a dent in Apple's
| dominance in the portable media market. Microsoft now trails behind
| Apple, SanDisk, Creative and Memorex.

`[MS] expects to sell 1 million of its new Zune music players through
the first half of 2007. That figure would pale in comparison to Apple's
market-leading iPod, but..."We think that's actually pretty awesome,"
said Bryan Lee, corporate vice president for Microsoft's entertainment
group."'
