i wouldnt say microsoft stabbed anyone in the back for zune. i suspect that microsoft was contractually obligated not to compete against its partners in 'playforsure'. it would have made much more sense to introduce a product that was playforsure compatible from the onset no?
while most people here im sure hate microsoft, it kind of bothers me that europe is increasingly resorting to government mandated efforts to battle against american companies. yes it is smart on their part to stop being so reliant on american technology companies, but this action coupled with the tariffs and fines they are leveraging against many US companies are showing signs of a negative trend to me.
