There mus be alot more to this if it is real.

I love the Zune service and just bought an annual Zune Pass for $150 yesterday. The only problem with the Zune service is that Microsoft has never advertised it. Everyone with a Zune Pass loves it.

It’s the second most popular video on demand site and gained almos ad much market share last year as iTunes lost.

PlaysForSure was a DRM solution for 3rd party manufacturers. PlaysForSure wasn’t a failure, DRM was a failure. All music you buy today is MP3 with no DRM.

Remember PlaysForSure? That was Microsoft’s first attempt to dethrone the iPod. It failed.

After the failure of PlaysForSure, Microsoft decided it needed to make its own hardware, hence the Zune.

Now Zune has failed, and Microsoft wants to go back to running another music service, Ventura.

Microsoft doesn’t give up, but Ventura is sure to fail also.
