What's up with Vista and music?

Of the various issues with Windows Vista coming to light, I find the music compatibility issue most astounding. Sure, no surprise that Apple (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/apple-on-itunes-vista-issues-just-dont-get-vista-233718.php) suggested to iTunes users that they buy Macs to avoid any Vista-compatibility issues. A bit strange that some PlaysForSure partners (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/vista-not-quite-working-with-some-mp3-players-234119.php), like Samsung, are reporting not all their players play with certainty on Vista. But what is truly baffling is James Kendrick's (http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2007/02/i_upgraded_to_v.html) struggle to play Zune purchased music on his P1610 now running Vista. One would think Microsoft would have made their own software work with their own DRM. WTF?
