I’ve yet to see a Zune in the wild.

If it were free, I might get one, if it had this feature.

This will sell like a car with a 70 mph governor.

Unless of course Congress helps with a mandate, then all media players will have this feature.

I’m not really planning to buy any Microsoft products in the near future, anyway.

I have a Zune 30gig and it is a great device.

The Apple users suffer from a mental illness. The need to fill a thread with Apple defensive love is insanity. Just reading this drooling crap is disturbing.

Something is seriously wrong here.

Microsoft May Build a Copyright Cop Into Every Zune

Both of them?

If you like to download the latest episodes of “Heroes” or other NBC shows from BitTorrent...

Then you almost certainly did so illegally, and I could care less what kind of problems you may have getting it to display, or if it installed a trojan back door on your system instead, etc. Too many people looking for a free ride these days.
