Earlier this week, I wrote a post on about the NTEN CRM satisfaction survey. No concrete conclusions can be drawn about overall use of or satisfaction with CRM tools from this survey. NTEN did a great job of beginning to approach this topic, and it was great data. To my mind, it bodes well for the open source tools.

Jobs understands that DRM doesn’t work, and doesn’t help sell music. From a developers prospective, Vista is much better than OS 10 – Microsoft even gives away basic development tools like asp.net and visual studio on their website. There are better sites for music and there are adequate players for 1/5th the price.
