Speaking of Ballmer, where did that web vid of his famous "developers, developers" set to music go? I can't Google is anywhere.

On another note:
my home cd player and tape deck allows me to steal music too... I guess sony and bose support piracy too.
I think I will convert all my ill-gotten mp3 files to .WMA so I will be ready to play them on MS’s new player that the whole world is going to run out and buy the instant it is released.
MS bought that just to frell with Apple users, and then to think they invest in wise ideas and products... Uh why not use that money and time to better Windoze... After all it is decades behind apple...
I guess they think like Bush... I wonder how much control they have in MS?
I think some people just sit around all day looking for reasons to hate President Bush. Don't people have anything better to do? Why does everything have to involve politics?

Our country would be a much better place if we all didn't take the attitude 'it's my way, or the highway.'
>we all didn't take the attitude 'it's my way, or the highway.'
Isn't that why everyone hates Bush... and Blair?
Anyway, just what/where is this free version of VPC?
My $0.02.
