According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation Microsoft’s so called “iPod Killer” is turning out to be rather suicidal:

Microsoft’s Zune will not play protected Windows Media Audio and Video purchased or “rented” from Napster 2.0, Rhapsody, Yahoo! Unlimited, Movielink, Cinemanow, or any other online media service. That’s right—the media that Microsoft promised would Play For Sure™ doesn’t even play on Microsoft’s own device.

Yet another (self inflicted) nail in the Zune coffin.

Maybe Zune won’t flop, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
