Screwed for Sure

Interesting commentary on the hazards of becoming a Microsoft "partner". Why companies keep trying to go this route is beyond me: from expanded memory managers to firewalls and now virus scanners and online music, every company that's worked closely with M$ in the past has ended up crushed and abandoned. Yet they still keep coming ... go figure. Greed, like hope, springs eternal.

Why Microsoft's new Zune digital music player will force the next sale of Napster. Commentary by Eliot Van Buskirk.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
