I have owned my Zune for over 2 years now. I had an Ipod for less than a year before the hard drive crashed. I took it to the Apple store…good news! I could buy a new Ipod for another 300.00 and they would give me a whole 12% off! Screw Apple! I love my Zune and I'm ready to buy and new 120…EVERYONE who has seen my movies, videos, photos, music and listen to my raido all says the same thing "Ipods SUCK!"

I've had both an iPod and a Zune and I like my Zune far more. I don't download music illegally, I just think it's theft, so for me the subscription service is the way to go.

These blogs are so funny. Where is the Microsoft 2.0 blog to poke holes in all the Apple Ads??

I mean honestly there is SOME truth to this ad and some overexageration, but couln't you say the same thing about 90% of Apples advertising??

Who cares, buy what you want and quit arguing about who's is better.

I sympathize with seniors using a computer (the "next screen")

The computer to me is a glitzy phone. I don't really use the phone

either, just "lets meet when".

Until you consider the computer a learning process function, how

can you talk about optimizing any of the computer functions. And

who cares -that might achieve not expensive enough comfort.

On another note I think in Chinese etiquette looking after seniors

is an important rule. It is worth a fortune improving bets, it's

so appreciated.

Everyone that owns a Zune, "that I know," hates it and wants and IPod. The market place tells companies what they want if they would only listen. The problem with companies is that they have lost the whole point in existence: The Customer! The Zune is DEAD! I love Microsoft and Apple products but why try to make a dead horse walk? Bailout for the Zune? LOL

Too bad most of us use limewire and torrents for our music. It is absolutely "free". Considering that the iPod is compatible with more music formats anyhow, I would choose the iPod. Besides the iPod has way more battery power, more accessories, and better features.

Yes, the iPod is cheaper, and more original than the zune. Sorry microsoft.

As I see it MS has 3 problems

1 The World already owns an iPod

2 The World knows it hasnt cost them $3000 let alone $30,000 to fill their iPod

3 The World knows that MS is lying – Again!

I pay for satellite radio and would never cancel it because I like it that much. This seems to be kind of the same thing just more user control, but more work for the user. Either way if it works for you great, if not whats the harm in it being an option for consumers.

Sorry microsoft isn't cool enough for some, but they do make good software, so good it processes billions on transactions a day worldwide with real money on the line, and they do it well. Users bad habits and loading crap software will always result in trouble for a computer. Especially now that we are seeing malware for OSX on the internet. Social engineering doesn't care what you use so don't forget your AV software.

Music subscription as a business model has already failed. The internet is already littered with the ruins of companies who thought that their particular flavor would catch on. However, no matter what kind of twist is added, at the end of the day, people want to keep the music they pay for. The market has already spoken on this one.
