Thats one of the reasons I went with Apple. I felt like Ms was treating me with little respect. I'd buy their software and just like clockwork it would be buggy and generally sucked. So I tried Apple products and haven't looked back. I wouldn't buy anything MS anyway but this deal with the music label guys is pure microsoftian. Buy your way into an area and in the process hurt the very people who buy their products. Giving these guys anything but the boot is draconian at best. They have a dying business because they don't give the customer what they want..a reasonable price for the product. Just my opinion
I don't consider myself unusual, but one day I said enough and switched. If I'm not unusual then one day many, many others will do the same thing and Microsoft be, well you know.
