As if they have sudenly decided to grace the world with their pressence after Apple decided to try out DRM free music, Microsoft is now thinking of offering music to the their Zune service free of DRM (pfft, yeah right)
Article right here, really short though, should go find another one

And what in the world, a cremé pink coloured Zune?

OK, Microsoft is showing its follow the leader or the "We thought of it first!" attitude when it see's something that Apple does. Another thing comes to mind on the DRM that is already built in to the Zune "Squirting" feature. The DRM on that is that you can send someone a song, and they can either listen to it within three days, or play it three times within those three days. then the song gets a restriciton lock on it untill you either pruchasea copy from the store or like most people, finda clever software download and keep playing it.
Frankly I don't think Microsoft can't really stay at all on their game, especially with their statements in how they retract almost every one of them, and how they think they are the last oppinion of everything technology based (and don't get me started on Monkey-Boy's thing on the iPhone and how google works as a buisness model)
Also though, consider this, Vista was so touted as über secure, when almost nearly three months later, and that is probably a record, a security flaw based on animated cursors of all things comes out and blows a hole. (is it possible to sue for false advertising on part of Microsoft?) Link here http://news.com.com/2100-1002_3-6173115....&subj=news
Oh wait, I found another article reguarding their false advertising http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-6173262....&subj=news
Truthfully, if something like a flaw that was in windows since NT as a animated cursor exploit, then Vista isn't really new, its just something dolled up. More like its XP 1.5.
All in all, I still trust XP becasue it has established itself solid, even if it is buggy (heck, people even threatend to leave EVE online when they said they would switch to Vista, so they still run on good o'l XP)
