OHHH the travesty..
and I've already thrown away my iPod.
NOT
The zune is going to fail miserably, and there are many reasons.
First off, people like the 99 cent thing, not the 79 points?? thing.
Second, the clickwheel thing. The iPod won the hearts of the people with its elegant, simple interface.
Third, Microsoft has never been thought of as being a "hip" company.
Fourth, the iPod has a huge head start (it was introduced in October 2001)
Fifth, and arguably most important, is the fact that Microsoft has no one in the company who can deal with the music industry. I mean, lets face it, Steve Jobs can play hardball with those jackasses. They tried to squeeze more money out of him and he balked, and they backed down. MicroSOFT has already folded and decided to give the music industry $ for every zune sold (because supposedly if you own a portable media device you HAVE to be stealing music)
What a lame argument from the music industry, and what a lame negotiation from Microsoft.
I could go on and on, but Countdown is coming on.
