In a rare instance of us supporting The Man, Austin P.D. hauls off a guerrilla marketing posterer for Microsoft Zune on 6th St. at SXSW.
I am not sure I heard everything clearly, but I think he said: “We’ll have none of your advertising for your DRM’d crippleware’d crappy MP3 player littering our town.”
What now?

Too bad we can’t actually hold Microsoft responsible. That would be fun huh? Arrest Bill Gates in Redmond, extradite to Austin, hold trial. Arlo Guthrie might write a song about it….

Dear “HATEMACS”, post #17. Why do you assume that folks who don’t like Zunes (or at least squirt-based marketing) are Mac users? Statistically, most of the folks who are NOT BUYING the Zune are in fact Windows users….
