Nokia and Microsoft, sitting in a tree...

... K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Nokia have announced a deal with Microsoft which will see their heinous Windows Media Player being shoehorned into Nokia phones from now on, allowing people to buy music downloads and play them on their phones in the evil WMA format (instead of less DRM encumbered formats like MP3). The thing is, do you really trust Microsoft to not put something into WMP, on the end of a GPRS or 3G line, that will routinely report 'usage data' back to them?

No, nor me. I'll stick with my Sony Ericsson and MP3s, thanks.
