As usual, stated without evidence. You have no reason whatsoever to assume that this has anything at all to do with DRM. And your comment equating this bug with a car not starting because its clock is set wrong is more evidence to me that you really don't understand very well how computers operate and how they are, in fact, not cars. The clock software in the Zune is a driver. When a driver in a computer goes whack, anything can happen, including a freeze, which is in fact what did happen. If you are going to tell me that your iPods and iPhones and Macs will all go merrily on their way as if nothing happened when their drivers go belly up, well, I just don't know what else to say. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
