More than once in the article it talks about apple doing something to prevent the zune from doing something.

I would assume that it has something to do with Apple owning the .aac format, but I'm not sure.

That makes no sense at all. Apple doesn't own the format!

I found the lack of podcast support in the Zune program to be a very stupid move by Microsoft. Why, when trying to establish a customer base of iPod users, would you leave out this very popular iPod function? Well, guess what? They didn't:
This is another dialogue box found in the Zune program files, eluding to Podcast support. Why is it locked away if it is already coded into the Zune program? The answer for this one is pretty easy: it was probably a threatened lawsuit from Apple. That's probably the reason for the next thing, too.

This makes even less sense. How would apple sue microsoft for using podcasts? Maybe I'm misunderstanding this quote, tell me if I am. But apple does not own any aspects of podcast in any way. They don't even own the name. The name just got popular because of the ipod.
And this dominiej guy seems to be completely against apple. He starts talking about how apple pc's only have a certain amount of the market, when we're just talking mp3 players here.
We all understand that microsoft's products are more successful, but that doesn't make them better. I'm not saying that applies to all of microsofts products, because I personally think windows is better than os x. But right now, the ipod and itunes is better and more successful than the zune and zune marketplace.
dominiej is completely convinced the zune is the better product apparently. But I prolly shouldn't have called ALL of you fanboys as people like pityonyou doesn't seem that bad.
Also, why are people saying things like "DAmn apple"?
