here is an email i sent to amazon after trying to download a movie.
being caught up in the excitement to download a movie from where i bought loads of dvd's in the past. only after i made the purchase did i realize that it was a windows based program when i was prompted to download the player...again, after the purchase! here's the emai and their reponse -


You don't support apple computers? or ipods? how can you
not support the number one personal video device that you sell? amazon sells all apple products. and can you please contact the news media regarding this issue, since they clearly state on news websites - "Seattle-based Amazon said the service will work on any Internet-connected personal computer." - not true!
can you please credit my account since i can't watch the movie on my
apple computer.

THE REPLY

Hello from Amazon.com.

Thank you for contacting us about the problem you encountered with The
Family Stone. As a standard policy, Amazon Unbox videos are not
returnable after they have been downloaded and viewed.

However, because of the circumstances I have made an exception and
issued a refund for $17.65. This refund should go through within the
next 2 to 3 business days and will appear as a credit on your next
credit card billing statement.

As part of the return/refund process, I have also revoked the license
for this video. It will no longer appear in Your Media Library and you
will be unable to play any copies you may have downloaded. We
recommend that you delete the inactive file from your computer.

Currently, the Windows XP operating system is required to run the
Amazon Unbox service. Because of this, Amazon Unbox is not supported
on the Apple Mac OS.

While it may be possible to run the Amazon Unbox video player on an
Apple computer running a required Windows operating system, we cannot
guarantee performance on those systems.

We value customers who experience our site and services through the
Apple Macintosh platform. We hope to be able to better serve you in
the future.

i agree with you about the complainers. my beef isn't the pricing or speed, but the fact that amazon is a store. a store that sells ipods, every variety. i'm all for competition on pricing, but why would they shut out the largest segment of personal video consumers? how can they sell apple computers and ipods and at the same time not support those products. when they sell dvd's, they play in a every dvd player, not just sony.
i could see if unbox came from microsoft, that makes sense. but amazon is the equivalent to the brick and mortar walmart. a store that sells everything from a to z. did microsoft buy amazon? i don't get it.

the whole thing smells too much like a stunt set up by the "anti" virus community.
isn't great when they ask the "expert" from norton to weigh in and he goes onto explain that both mac and pc's should keep their anti-virus software up to date. i might be a bit of conspiracy theorist, but i do believe that most virus' have been let loose by the same companies that protect us from them.
