Microsoft Re-Brands PlaysForSure
mikesd81 writes "Information Week writes about a licensing change intended to 'beat Apple at their own game'. They're going to use a combination of branding and DRM, and replace the "PlaysForSure" logo with a "Certified for Windows Vista" tag.'The certification is used to guarantee compatibility with Microsoft's copyright-protection software and is the same logo used for the company's Zune player. The problem, however, is that music and video bought from the online Zune Marketplace won't play in their native format on other devices, including those that will carry the new logo.'"
In your case I meant "overly smug Apple fanbois with an overly large piece of Steve Jobs' doodoo stuck to the end of his nose and this partially obscuring his vision".
Keep them coming, by the way. I'm having fun and have plenty of good karma to burn.

Bring 'em on! I'll kill a few, hang them to dry in the garage for a few months, then crumble them over my breakfast cereal of chocolate-covered man-made global warming supporters.
You might be having fun, but clearly you're a zealot in your own way, and can't accept any error or fault on your part.
I can accept error or fault. But only when I'm wrong. And I'm not in this case.
You're every bit as blind as the most deluded Apple fan that you deride, and you use crudity where none is needed, weakening your post.
No, I actually have the strength of character to say what I believe and am not so "scared" of standing out from a crowd that I have to conceal myself behind a corporate logo to fulfill my need to belong to an elitist little club.
Still, thanks for playing. I note you can't disagree with any points, and you really are a troll.
And what points are you making in this post? You are just attacking me here, therefore you are doing nothing different to what you are deriding me for doing. So does that make you a "trolling fanboi" or "fanboi troll"?
