GA Russell Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Here's a link to the Chicago Sun-Times' review of the new Microsoft Zune mp3 player. I don't recall ever seeing a daily newpaper rip into an electronic product like this review does. "just plain dreadful" "Doug Morris, CEO of Universal Music Group...is just a big, clueless idiot..." "a complete, humiliating failure" http://www.suntimes.com/technology/ihnatko...-Andy23.article Quote
Tom Storer Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Well, I guess I won't be chucking out my iPod any time soon. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Only the Zune software can sync music, video and pictures onto the device; Zune is incompatible with Windows Media Player, the familiar hub of the Windows desktop media experience. Leave it to Microsoft to screw something up so radically. Quote

I think microsoft knows this is an inferior product, but they are just doing what they can to get in the game. eventually it will gt better, but it is still nowhere near what it needs to be. Quote

Yes, but Microsoft has been touting Windows Media Player as the defacto media player for upwards of what, 10 years now? And after all that, they release a music device that is not compatable with WM? That's just ridiculous, imo. And yes, they might just be releasing something to "get in the game" but why make it so laughably bad? Whatever happened to "do something right, else don't do it at all"? Why even bother? Quote
Stefan Wood Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 So what's wrong with itunes? Quote
gslade Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 DOA as expected when has MS done anything that benifits the consumer? Quote
