    iam sure the EU would love to monitor this one
    micorosoft need to get out of the content industry, give it 5years and anti-trust will be all over them, its bad enough now with their WMV and DRM in all the large music stores, if i want legal major label downloads its either MS or Apple (until the beatles kill them off)

    now you know why the EU is so keen to slap MS down
    , MS just keep digging the hole and chaining its users

    i love choice, and i choose Xvid and MP3 and if i cant get them legally i will have to find another way, you listening big 5 ?

    I have to wonder when MS is going to release a Service Pack for MSNBC. It's bad enough standalone over the television, and we all know how badly things with MS in the name perform once you hook them up to the Internet.
