The iTunes-iTMS-iPod integration is already so good, so full of "Of course, that's how it should work!"-ness, it's going to take a Herculean effort for another company to beat it.

Can Microsoft do it? If they were the only company involved, well, maybe they could. However, there are too many hands in the online music process to let them have free rein -- and not many of those hands want to let Microsoft run things, either.

I'm eager to see the MSN Music store get started. I can't wait to see Microsoft stumble.
