If you own any music purchased from the Defunct MSN Music, come August 31st 2008 your music basically has an expiration date. The expiration date being the day that computer dies.
After that date Microsoft will not allow you to retrieve the license for any music purchased from MSN Music. What the F*#@? You mean to tell me that I spent nearly 100 dollars on music and I can no longer listen to it if I buy a new computer or MP3 player? Is Microsoft kidding me?
First Microsoft delivered claimed the slashed the price on Vista, Then they screwed us with Ultimate Extras, belittled us UltimatePC.com and is now screwing us over their Music we paid for. This just shows Microsoft has complete lost touch with their user-base.

The RIAA has had a lot of crazy ideas over the past year; from suggesting that Anti-Virus programs scan your PC for illegal content, to having ISPs install filters on their network.
But now they have an idea to tax your internet bill 5 extra dollars a month, to compensate money they are losing to file sharing. The money would go into a pool and depending on an artist popularity that artist will get a bigger or smaller chunk of that money.
Last week, Microsoft announced UltimatePC.com, a website where people could go to learn about various computing scenarios and learn what products would suit them best to work in that scenario.

When Microsoft last week announced the price cut on Windows Vista, I was shocked. I was shocked because Microsoft had cut the price on an OS that is only a year old. I was honestly surprised, and at the same time, I was happy because now Vista was cheaper and affordable to more people.
Since the anoucement, I have learned more details about the price cut, and I have come to the conclusion that it is not a price cut but an attempt by Microsoft to get some good press.
