If I hold a Windows system that close to my head... Won't the bogons rot my brain away?

What's wrong with making DRM jokes. Don't use this phone to wish someone a Happy Birthday, you will be billed. Oh! Billed! Ha ha!

I forgot, this is April 1st, day of pranks, when did they post the story??

This one could be a winner, the zune was actually a nice prodcut. There no reason to think that the msphone will be worse.
as for this ediot down here
"It will have built in DRM for when you say something that is copy protected you will get charged, however if you don't pay and opt for a free ver it will down grade your call quality."
Yeah like the iphone doest have DRM, and like the Iphone doesnt go brick if you update a jailed system. Degraded sound quality sounds like a better deal. Or you could just get an android phone, just good luck if you want to stay on a cdma network.

And a chance to stiff some more partners. Cool!
They have not had so much fun since "plays for sure".

My Mum bought a vista laptop. She went to play one of her mp3's that she ripped from a cd she bought. Windows media player stopped her, said she needed a lience to play and Windows media player would need to contact MS to obtain one. She asked me about it, I said to go ahead.

If she ripped the mp3 from a legal cd why does Windows media player need to call MS to obtain a licence cert for my Mum?

This sounds more like an early april fools than fact.... prove me wrong MS!

I need my phone for my business, the last thing I would want would be to make that an overpriced expensive unreliable slow piece of DRM ridden licensed burdened crap like every other piece of shit that falls out the arse of redmond.

It will have built in DRM for when you say something that is copy protected you will get charged, however if you don't pay and opt for a free ver it will down grade your call quality.

Brilliant first post there. Way to make far-fetched assumptions based on nothing.
I am assuming that was actually Charles commenting on his own post. Sounded like him.

Toodles

Late-to-market copycats continue their time-tested tactics that resulted in the hugely successful Zune WMA DRM player!

I hope they use the same care and skillful engineering that went into producing the uber-reliable Xbox 360. I can just see the lawsuits now: *I dialed 911 on my *Microphone*(TM), but a the display turned red, and it just kept ringing...* (aka, RROD port for the Microphone).

Or, you could just buy a phone running Android, which actually works.
