It's such a shame the Zune never made it big.
I admit it, when the Zune first came out, I thought it was a knockoff of the ipod, that the build quality seemed to be more of a plastic brick than a slimmish metal fixture. But, the thing I really liked about it was its operating system it ran, it was WAY better and sleeker than the ipod ever was or will be. Then the Zune HD came out, seemed to be another itouch knockoff, but prettier.
But Microsoft never made it big with the Zune and it's such a shame! I mean, has anyone of you installed and used the Zune Software 4.7? Holy crap! It destroys itunes! It's so much prettier and functional and practical. And it also has a better shuffle algorithm than itunes, I swear, it's like it had musical preference.
Now here we are, it looks as so Microsoft is killing the hardware brand and keeping the Zune Software, which sucks since it has such potential...
Speaking of such, I've noticed in the past decade that I've never ever seen a Zune advert on tv or on the internet for that matter, but I've seen loads of ipod, ipad, and iphone adverts compared to it. It makes me wonder if it was intentional on Microsoft's behalf, maybe to give apple back it's dignity since it almost went under in the 90s because of them.....
