That, and it's a tad amusing to watch the whole Zune thing in action. 
"New from MS: Vista.  New from MS: Zune.  Doesn't work with Vista.  Stick
with XP or someone else's player.  Or both."

Of course, we can't forget their OneCare line, either: "We can't make the
crap safe, but we can make the crap safe.  Just pay us more."  Yeah,
right, sure.  I'm gonna trust _them_ to keep Windows safe.

Is there anyone left over at MS who *isn't* actively trying to gut the
company from the inside out?
