    This shows how much Microsoft changed in one decade... Also shows how little did Apple change. Not that either is good or bad. Just interesting.

      For me it's the complete opposite. Microsoft still bloats everything, including their packaging, and Apple has changed drastically from that iPod to today.

      I thought it was an interesting little time capsule. I completely forgot how I felt about Microsoft/Apple back in those days. It was a totally different vibe. Really difficult to contextualise when so much has happened since.

      In packaging, they improved the size of the boxes, making them more environment friendly. But, in terms of product lines, can someone explain me ?

      • iPhone 6
      • iPhone 6 Plus
      • iPhone 6S
      • iPhone 6S Plus
      • iPhone SE

      Macs?

      • Macbook
      • Macbook Air
      • Macbook Pro

      Apple changed a lot, and not in a good way, I mean in a bad way.

    Best part was an internal Microsoft team created this.

    I remember getting a good laugh out of this when it first did the rounds 10 years ago. It's great to see how much Microsoft have improved since then. Proof that behemoths can change their ways.

    Haha this is awesome, and pretty much representative of any corporate design feedback.

    Was totally expecting a Zune Vid - their actual redesign of an iPad - and dons flameproof vest it was GOOD. The Zune player is still better than itunes. RIP.
