       Which is probably happening as we speak.  Stealing technology from
  its' "partners" is the essence of what M$ does, so you can bet the farm
  that we'll see technology from Rhapsody in some future M$
  offering...anyone who partners with M$ *SHOULD* already know this, and to
  think otherwise would be to ignore history which would be extremely
  naive.
