Microsoft wants iTunes for Windows 8; Apple not interested
Microsoft would love for Apple to bring iTunes ? one of the world’s most popular software offerings ? to its Windows 8 “Metro” platform, but executives at the Redmond giant say Windows 8 users shouldn’t expect a touch-friendly version of the application any time soon.
With iPhone owners restricted by capped data plans on the largest U.S. carriers, cable sports network ESPN has expressed interest in potentially subsidizing those data plans to allow users to stream video without worrying about overage fees.
Waze, the social mapping and traffic service that Apple once recommended as a potential alternative to its own iOS Maps solution, is reportedly in talks with Facebook about a possible acquisition by the networking giant.
Microsoft: Apple reluctant to build a “Metro” iTunes for Windows 8
While Microsoft has invited Apple to produce a Windows 8 iTunes app, Cupertino’s response has essentially been “don’t hold your breath.”
Speaking to CNNMoney, Microsoft’s chief financial officer Tami Reller said, “The welcome mat has been laid out [for Apple]. It’s not for a lack of trying.” Note that Windows 8 customers can use iTunes, but only on the desktop. That’s a less-than-optimal experience, and poor Surface RT users are without iTunes altogether, as the device wont’ run non-Microsoft desktop software.
As CNNMoney points out, Apple’s position is understandable. With the best-selling tablet in the market, why would it rush to make Microsoft’s offering more competitive?
Still, Reller believes that the Windows app store will feature all of the most popular apps from Apple’s App Store by the holiday season. “That’s not just our goal, but it’ll be realistic to achieve that. We’re almost there.”
