The real zune screw-deal appears to be the Windows Media Store. I listened to a TWiT podcast last night (This week in tech) and they said people who had bought songs through the windows media store could not use them on the Zune. Apparently Zune has its own DRM, separate from the DRM system used by Windows Media 10 (probably related to the whole Zune "Welcome to the Social" song sharing for 3 days deal- Windows Media's DRM doesn't support 'sharing').
So if you bought songs from iTunes, you can't use them on Zune.
If you bought songs from Napster, you can't use them on Zune.
If you bought songs from Sony, you can't use them on Zune.
If you bought songs from Windows Media Store, you can't use them on Zune.
I guess you don't have to worry about filling up the 30 gig drive anytime soon.
On a side note: I think this Zune is akin to the first XBox. Wait for the Zune360 and we might have something exciting on our hands. I'm thinking Zune wireless syncing with the 360, and using Live credits to buy media (songs, tv, and movies).
