apple DRM, vmware and itunes, ipod

Hi Little did I suspect I'd be tied to windows by way of the DRM apple wraps around their itunes. Not to be impeded from my goal of having a linux box, I settled for the moment on running itunes from within VMWare workstation while apple dukes it out with antitrust lawsuits and hopefully opens u
