D'oh! Okay, good catch.
ops: I can say, though, that both DMT and SPT were in the planning stages for a long time, so while MS's interest may have been a factor, it wasn't the reason Jason wanted to start the site.

However, for whatever reason, mostly their history, i have about 6% confidence in Zune becoming a success. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Between you and me... I agree. :P I'm a bit more generous, though -- I'll give Zune 15%. I think the only way it ends up being a big success is if the iPod stagnates (e.g., if the touch screen video iPod or whatever the next generation is, as you allude to, doesn't come out in the next 6-12 months). Given the rumors that Apple is about to start a movie subscription offering on iTunes, that may be the nail in the Zune coffin before it begins. We'll see!
