"...will be incompatible with Microsoft's PlaysForSure initiative"

Eben las ich
"The new player and service will be incompatible with Microsoft's PlaysForSure initiative".

D.h. das Gerät spielt keine WMA-Tracks, die im neulich von Microsoft gepushten Plays-For-Sure Format gespeichert wurden. Wow. Oder habe ich das falsch verstanden?

Engadget recently interviewed an MS Corporate VP regarding the Zune and how Microsoft explains the lack of supporting "Plays For Sure". The resulting statements from this Microsoft Exec are truly worrisome:

E: "PlaysForSure was the thrust of Microsoft's strategy until the announcement of the Zune. How does PlaysForSure fit into Microsoft's strategy going forward?"
MS: "...There's another class of consumers that just want to get digital media, and they just want to be able to go to one store and have it all..."
E: "Wasn't that the point of PlaysForSure?"
MS: "...Zune says there is no choice; you get a Zune device, you hook it up to the Zune service, and it just works."

Yikes! I thought the iPod was evil because Apple didn't give me a choice...now it seems no choice is just what the doctor ordered! How stupid does Microsoft think we are?
