Why do you mac freaks turn everything into mac vs pc?Amen. Does it really matter who started it? I mean, someone had to be first. Besides, both Apple & MS carry a lot of clout.

Think about it: The best selling music device (iPod) coupled with an operating system that's on most of the world's PC's (Windows). That's a lot of potential sales just waiting for the right moment.

I pesonally have bucked the trend and bought a Creative Zen, but I can honestly say the main thing holding me back from buying digital music is DRM. After I pay for it, it's mine. And I play by the rules; my ripped CD's are for my own use. I do not make copies for anyone and I'd treat digital music downloads the same way. I'd venture to say most people would play fair also.

So I applaud MS, Apple, and EMI for taking the first steps. I'm ready to support this move with my music dollars if the dominoes start to fall.

Anyway...DRM free music should be cheaper..since the cost of making the music DRM compliant is not there...hence the music should be cheaper. Or is it that the music company decided to throw the towel...& make more money from it]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Where-Apple-leads-Microsoft-followsAgain-18137546 Sun, 08 Apr 2007 17:09:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Where-Apple-leads-Microsoft-followsAgain-18137512 said by RideRed:

So I guess Jason Reindorp doesn't think Steve Jobs was "irresponsible, or at the very least naïve..." afterall.

Microsoft continues it's legacy of non-innovation.
What??? You have got to be kidding me. What is innovative about selling songs that a record company decides not to have DRM on? Give me a break. You are stretching. Why do you mac freaks turn everything into mac vs pc? I have pcs and I have macs I don't want to hear about my pc loving.

Bottom line though...I applaud EMI.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Where-Apple-leads-Microsoft-followsAgain-18137512 Sun, 08 Apr 2007 16:52:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Where-Apple-leads-Microsoft-followsAgain-18137278
