Urge/MTV partner has already made public comments about the Zune and Microsoft and being left out so far. I think we can safely say that the Microsoft unraveling of partners has clearly started and Zune has not even seen the light of day yet. It will be interesting to see what happens if the iTunes Store clobbers Amazon Unbox and Cinema Now as it seems Apple has a great start with only selling Disney so far in Movies.

Still suprized Zune will have a proprietary DRM system. Unfortunately I think Napster is a victim of the Zune. Still suprized Zune will have a proprietary DRM system.
