This is one reason that Apple excels at what they do: a closed hardware platform with tightly integrated software is much easier to control and troubleshoot.
While I agree with your argument against supporting PlaysForSure via non-MS subscription providers like Napster, it doesn't hold true for MSN Music. You don't think iTunes and iPod are done by separate groups at Apple? The fact that MSN Music and Zune are separate groups at MS is not a valid excuse - they're both MS and it should just work. I still can't believe that MS would release a player that can't play music sold from its own MSN Music store- it's simply ridiculous.
