> What MSFT absolutely nails in this arena is the experience in the XBL marketplace. If you buy something, it's yours forever (well, longer than in the app store, anyway) Heh, I still remember my jaw dropping open when I found out that Microsoft deprecated their own music DRM format called ... wait for it ...
