To have the ability to play such protected files, a decrypting algorithm must be present and the Zune Software doesn't for aac. At least that's my understanding. Sorry to be nit-picky, I wanted to clarify before people go out and download songs off itunes instead of Zune (why would they? IDK).

In other news... Armin van Burren is sweet, and thanks to you, I just downloaded the 24 - Longest Day Music Video

Your correct, you Can Not play DRM Protected AAC files from iTunes in the Zune Marketplace. The only place you can play protected AAC files from iTunes is in iTunes. Though iTunes will soon be selling a lot of songs with No DRM really soon and they will be compatible with the Zune.
