Did you read the article?
---doesn't besides lock you into the Apple music store?---

I use iTunes and I don't purchase anything from the iTunes music store. No lock-in there.

And as for what MP10 lacks that MS wants to "borrow" from iTunes to put in this new version, well, directly from the article:

"...better synching with portable devices, make it easier to scroll through long libraries of music, and be tightly integrated {a}...download music service..."

"With the new media player, consumers will be able to "reverse sync," meaning they can send content from a digital device to a PC "{like Apple does since the days of the iPod photo}.

"Other sync options include synching a player to multiple PCs and filling a device with random tracks--a la Shuffle in iTunes"

"Indexed searching allows users to quickly find whatever they're looking for just by typing a few letters, again borrowing a popular trick from iTunes."
