I guess thats why the iPod is out selling this Zune and the NBC Execs have jump on the wrong media. Punt intended. They are so greedy that they forgot the 101 business, Volume over price. The more product moved at a lower cost carries larger profits than less product moved at higher cost to the public. They are getting what they deserver.

well, it's M$, what did you expect. Did you expect to play the .mp3 you just ripped from the CD you just bought? Or did you expect to borrow the CD from your own brother and be able to play the damn thing at the device of your choice? Oh, wait, here's the best: did you expect your media library, licensed for that particular DRM player to work on the next version of the DRM player you might buy because of improvement, loosing the old one or breaking it out of frustration?
