[X4U] Everything that's wrong with Zune

[nk]

the article has two premises which seem very weak to me. 1) that "most 
people prefer windows." and 2) make the Zune more like a windows pc

People have Windows rammed down their throats, and/or are afraid NOT to 
use it for fear that they'll be out in the cold, incompatible, etc. Yer 
basic F.U.D.

The fact that iPod is successful across platform users is that there IS 
no fiddling around to get it to work. Listening to music is about 
having FUN, not about having a geekfest. It's about putting on 
headphones and blissing out to music, not about being assimilated into 
the Borg collective.

That so many have embraced the iPod sez to me that, when people don't 
feel they HAVE to submit to the Windows way of doing things, they 
don't. They readily embrace simplicity and elegance over the tinkering 
otherwise foisted upon them by windows. Seems to me, Zune already IS 
more like a windows pc with its interface, dumb form factor, and 
incompatibility issues.

it seems JUST like a windows PC

just my 2 cents
