Let me explain it for you
Your comment implied that the DRM-laden aspects of iTunes were wildly popular. All I did was point out that the DRM is only used by a miniscule portion of iTunes users.

So perhaps your point was correct--DRM doesn't matter in either player because no one uses Apple's DRM and no one will use MS' DRM.
