So... serious hacking has started. First layer to fall is "not able to be
used as a USB storage device"... Sweet for windows users, but not a problem
for linux users...

My Crystal Ball Predictions: Next to fall... being able to add and delete
files without issues on windows and linux... After that a Linux port to the
Zune hardware... Total freedom. Imagine being able to transfer files, bot
music, video, pictures and data DRM free...

When it happens, I'll buy one. Till then I'll just sit back a be amused with
the humor of it all.
