Another Reason for Microsoft to Get Bent

As if we needed any more...

If you double-click on an M4A file (standard iPod music file) and don't have iTunes installed then Windows XP tells you that it can't open the file and asks you what to do. If you select "Use the Web service to find the appropriate program" and click OK you get this:

File Type: Unknown

Description: Windows does not recognize this file type.

Microsoft doesn't recognize the file format of the most popular portable music device in the world?? BULL. Microsoft damn well knows what the file format is. They just don't want to tell you to because you might choose an iPod over their crappy Zune.
