Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store

Posted by samzenpus on from the everyone-else-has-got-one dept.

yonnage writes "Microsoft is expected to enter the online song store market this week, which should put the software giant head-to-head with Apple Computer in the music business at last. The launch of Microsoft's iTunes rival will be timed along with the beta release of Microsoft's new Windows Media Player 10, expected on Thursday, sources say. The store will also be in beta mode, lacking some of the features that will be added later, sources said."

    Screw Microsoft... Get a free iPod instead.

    I'll give a GMail invite to the first 3 people who complete an offer for me.
    (I recommend doing the Blockbuster or Netscape trials. Easy enough to cancel, and the credit is instant.)
