Submission + - Microsoft abandoning usual DRM for Zune?
JonathanF writes: "Some sleuthing by Electronista has noticed a curious trait in Microsoft's Zune announcement on Thursday: every time format support comes up (such as in the official press release), there's no mention of anything relating to store formats. They only mention "unprotected MP3, AAC, and WMA" files — and the Zune Insider blog writer (from Microsoft!) implies that you can't import protected WMA, which you'd think Microsoft would rush to support. I don't think anyone would realistically expect Microsoft to champion the fight against DRM, but does this mean the Zune will not only use its own protected file format but keep Napster and company out altogether?"
