If there’s one interesting side-product of getting all the CES geeks together in a vast hall, it’s seeing just how much Zune squirting goes on.  Gear Live have already experienced their first mutual-squirt, encountering a fellow Zuner at SeaTac Airport and swapping a few tracks to see just how easy this music-sharing malarkey really is.

The good news?  It was indecently easy to use.  The bad news?  All the tracks were shackled with the maligned “3 day or 3 play” DRM, even those which weren’t purchased from the Zune Marketplace.  It’s sad, in a way, that it takes a once-yearly exhibition for Zune owners to try out one of the most publicised aspects of their PMPs; perhaps Microsoft should make it “3 CES” DRM instead?
