In 5 years... based on this Duran Duran post: I see Zune.net hosting behind the scenes videos from the New Kids on the Block "Don't Call Us Kids, Sonny!" reunion album. :-)

But of course you'll only be able to watch it once before the Content Cop deletes it and tasers you through your pocket because you didn't watch the whole doritos ad.

Don't mind me, I'm still a little irked that Microsoft can pull off a Mac version of their Office suite but not a Mac version of their Zune software.

In 5 years?

That all depends how entrenched Microsoft becomes within the content providers camp (like NBC, Hollywood, Universal and the likes). I foresee there becoming a conflict of interest for the Zune team, between satisfying its loyal and new customers and satisfying these content providers. And we all know what many of these content holders want, lock-down control of 'their' content. Microsoft seems to be pushing hard to become the trusted (DRM) gatekeeper of these media types while also pushing its own products. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out over the years. Users want less restriction, and protection of their fair use rights, while the providers want the opposite. Where does Microsoft stand? Will they go to bat for its users and their fair use rights or the providers?
