I have not had a single problem with my first generation Zune. But my old ipod would constantly freeze and lose all my music.

I will buy a zune phone the second it is released, if it ever will be.

MS seems to have list it's ingenuity. They know all about integration and cohesiveness in their products. Their very good at making software and unifying a platform. From Active Directory, to Exchange, Sharepoint, SMS, etc. Even the progression of the Xbox and how they have it integrated into Windows Media Center. The main problem is they're too busy trying to play catch up instead of starting from the ground floor and rebuilding the brand from scratch.</p> Cosign this article.
