Is Zune doomed before it even launches?
4 comments- IT TOPICS:Personal Technology
You know what, between insane DRM issues , a poor-to-middlin interface and software that sucks , I don't see any reason that I'd even think about buying a Zune. The buzz on the blogosphere is almost universally negative and gives me no confidence that the Zune will make it until the middle of next year, let alone be aiPod killer.
Maybe I'm reading too much into the blogosphere and when average joes get their hands on the Zune, they'll love it. At least until they go to install the software and start buying music, that is. Personally, I've made a decision that I'm not allowing Microsoft to escape the computers in my house; I don't have an X-box, the only system I have Windows Media edition is on is my laptop and I'm not going to buy a product that may be crippled when Microsoft decides to shut down the music store. Maybe my wife will get me an iPod for Christmas, because even though I'm not much happier with iTunes and their DRM, at least the iPod is cool.
Whose idea was it to make the Zune brown anyways? Maybe Microsoft should call David Platt for some advice.
