"This was not in Microsoft's best interest as they wanted full DRM handshake and a one way transfer. You can delete songs off the device, but copying from it is prohibited. This needing someting other than drag and drop, means a special application which may mean Windows only which is a problem in addition to any other USB port driver issues and corrupt handshakes and keys."
I don't understand how this differs from the ipodservice which runs in the background searching for a device or the crippled way that itunes interacts with the ipod on different computers.
Look at the direction we've come now, DRM wasn't forced by either party, its been the record labels that have said if you want to play its by our rules. look at what happened to the first proper DAP, the rio, which was dragged through court and made it possible for your ipods, etc today.
I have used many different DAPs and their woeful software (iaudio x5, creative media centre, itunes) and I think that the Ipod/Anapod combination is hands down the best combination i've seen to date.
