I'll say it - the way the talking heads homed in on the weaknesses smelled like they'd been prompted. Still valid points.

MS isn't looking to make the Zune an iPod killer...this rev.

Zune 5.0-ish, in 2012-ish, that's the timeframe they're looking at. This rev is "Look, we have an MP3 player, and an online service for it." It's good enough to prove the point, and no better.

I wonder if I can convince my boss that the Zune is covered under the Final Judgment? I'm sure I could do some pretty rigorous testing of the Zune, the iPod, and Creative's Rio--it would at least make my four hours of commuting each day into billable time...

Yeah, this is classic MS. Rev 1 sucks, Rev 2 improves, Rev 3 hits a critical mass. They'll keep throwing money at it until they win.

I mean, just look at PlaysForSure!
