Why does Microsoft hate us?

[Aesthetical Quietus]

A few months ago, I happen to remember that Forza 3 was just on the horizon; and in my excitement I decided to start playing Forza 2 again. Now, I had recently deleted all my music from my 360 to free up some space, and I had an iPod anyway. Long story short I realize that for some idiotic reason, I needed to download some update so that my 360 could play Protected AAC songs from my iPod (which is a good chunk of them). After some frustrating searching (with no help from Microsoft, of course) I found the update and downloaded it. Afterwards, I could play normal AAC songs, but not Protected AAC files. Whatever, close enough.

So now I start up my 360 to play Forza 3, and it says I need to download a system update. Fine, whatever. Surprise! Now the only songs I can play from my iPod are the illegally downloaded ones. Hows that for retarded irony? I tried downloading the update again, but all it said was "to use this content, insert the game it was downloaded for." Jesus Christ.

So do any of you know how to fix this problem, and more importantly, why does Microsoft hate us and not want us to be happy?

A fair few people are failing to read this properly or feel like being stuck up assholes. The problem is not with the illegal music, the problem is with the non-illegal music, which is Protected AAC, which therefore not playable on Microsoft. [More than likely Microsoft throwing a fit at you using Apple's products and music files].

Anyways, my suggestion would either be (if it was downloaded from the Apple Store, you should be able to redownload for free a non-DRM version(I think, don't know how they handle there store, never used it).

Either that or pirate all the music. [Hey you bought it, it's not your fault that their encryption has broken it, fucking download that shit.]

IDK, Im pretty sure Microsoft hates us all. I mean, they charge us for EVERYTHING, and it really seems to get a little unnecessary, especially when half their crap doesnt even work.

And if you still dont believe me, allow me to point out- Windows 7.

You just came out with Vista, Microsoft! We dont need ANOTHER OS! Just fix Vista, damnit!

oh, and i also partly solved the iPod problem, but point still stands.

Oh no a company is exspecting us to pay for its products, YOUR KIDDING ME?? we are all doomed DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD illl telll ya.

Back on topic, apple only wants you to use there music files on ipod, may be its apple that hates you?
