The Big M Challenges the Big Apple...Of Music, That Is

iTWire - Will Apple stand still in face of Microsoft iPod killer?

OK, we all knew it was coming, but this is the part that caught my eye:
"There is talk that Microsoft is prepared to pay record companies to allow iTunes users to transfer their tracks to Windows Player 11 for free. Given that iTunes users had already downloaded well over 1 billion tracks near the beginning of this year, that's a hell of an investment for Microsoft to make to enter the market."
Big talk indeed.
