> the Zune was a bit of a joke

Spoken like someone who never owned one. The hardware (built by Toshiba) was excellent as was the software - if you avoided the harebrained DRM scheme and loaded your own MP3s.




Guilty as charged!

I got a defense however:

You may recall that this completely idiotic DRM implementation allowed to beam a DRMd song up to 3 times to other Zune users. That process was called squirting.

One /. commenter suggested that one should imagine Steve Balmer in the process of squirting.

Well, that pretty much killed it for me.
