Microsoft is flexing its muscles this week with strong moves against its rivals. The software giant on Monday released the Zune digital media player hoping to take a bite out of Apple. Three days later, the company inked a mobile search deal with Sprint Nextel, leaving Google out in the cold. Microsoft may not have been first-to-market with a digital media player, but the company is the first of the three search titans to align with a major U.S. wireless carrier.
