Zune's aren't working correctly, not compatible with Vista, etc. Also funny how MS is marketing this through the companies they own (such as MSNBC). On the Today Show yesterday, they visually compared the new Zune to the iPod 4G, which was released in 2004! Was it because the 5th generation iPod is better looking than the Zune? Screenshots from the Today Show comparison on my blog, if you are interested: http://www.jacksonlatka.com/blog/?p=60 This is hilarious.

In what do they add value, besides taking the whole area above the fold on pageview? All I see is some crazy dude in a car. I'd say less drug-induced art, more content.
