Heh, I usually click straight through to the article, didn't even notice that in the summary. Guess I'm kinda backwards for slashdot.

If I'm paying for it I want it at full quality. In order to use it on a portable device I'm going to have to transcode to mp3, but that doesn't mean I want to buy an already degraded quality.

From the download page:

We are sorry, but currently we only support Windows and Mac.

Of course, if you want to go ahead and download the Windows or Mac application for now weâ(TM)ll keep quiet about it.

If you are using Linux, you might want to run Spotify under Wine.

Well, at least they have a Wine guide, more than most people bother to do.

Nah, those worked better as storage, the CDs were only good as a coaster or a Frisbee. I didn't mind AOL sending me floppies, saved on my disk budget.

Now if only they'd distribute DRM Free lossless files online, and kick the RIAA to the curb so the artists can be paid more than the lawyers, they might get a customer back. But let's be honest, that will never happen.

I thought CDs were those coasters AOL used to send you.

Don't you know anything? Tin Foil only acts as an amplifier. They just want you to think it will protect you so you have a false sense of security.

It's a simple edit, nothing altogether that difficult about it, and much less time consuming than removing IE from XP.

You're giving people far to much credit there, users of Microsoft services are exactly as stupid as the general population.

Why is it inferior? Because it has the Microsoft name attached to it? I would invite you to take the blind search test to see which search engine is really the best for you: http://blindsearch.fejus.com/

I did quite a few searches on there, about 90% were won by Google, the rest were won by Yahoo, not a single search did I find to be better on Bing.

It's just Mac & Linux users can, on occasion, manage to do something without a GUI. I'm not saying all Windows users can't, but that huge slice of market share Windows users brag about all the time includes a lot of really dumb people.
