The Zune has 0% marketshare right now which means that anyone who buys one will be pretty hard pressed to find someone to "share" (3 plays/3days) with. If Gates is so into sharing, why not embrace open formats and ditch DRM?

Breakfast at Minnies, the "Zune" only Monorail trip, a great concert, a Belkin case and an awesome Zune. CrunchGear definitely does know how to treat a contest winner!
