You think the free Zunes had anything to do with the positive review?

Okay, I guess they can give them away. But that's about it. Haha

And I thought this thread would be about Mr. Michael Everybody from Lansing, Michigan, who recently went out and purchased a Zune.

I’m utterly disappointed.

I saw a Zune in the School Bookstore yesterday. It's a piece of junk. I admit I'm an Apple/iPod fanboy through and through, but the Zune's very design lies. It looks like it ought to have a clickwheel, but it doesn't. It's kinda bulky, and the plastic feels cheap.

Oh right... if I had been there, I would be selling my Zune the following day.

If the Zune worked with iTunes on a Mac, I'd totally give it a try. From what I hear, the Zune itself isn't that bad, it's just the software the blows.

[Edit: And the DRM... That would prevent me from actually buying one.]

WW! It looks like the audiences for the Ellen show are nothing but fat, blonde women.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

She would be good - lively and somewhat entertaining.

Should we be surprised you are the one that watched it frame by frame to spot one?

that would have been sweet.

Honestly if I did win one on TV I would just ask "Does it work with my Mac?", "Where do i get these movie files from? Does MS sell them?" "Does it work with iTunes? etc and watch them sweat.
