Microsoft has followed suit with DRM free music.
I think most of the complaints are actually moot points...

Another effect of it being proprietory is that it will only connect with your portable media player if you use an IPod. By design, Apple prefer's it to be the only software that will connect with IPods, but others have made software that connects with IPods as well.
That isn't
quite true, you can drag and drop files like you can in Windows Explorer, so although its not as swish as you might like it to be, you can drag music files onto a standard flash based dime a dozen mp3 player.

to be honest, that is a very specialised feature, and one which most people wouldn't really benefit from.
The only complaints I have is the memory it uses, with a large library, it can sometimes feel a bit sluggish and sometimes after a song plays, my computer grinds to a halt for a few seconds before the next song plays.
