I did my little video prize fight, now Cnet has their famous prize fight online. Who is the winner?

What an upset! We promise this fight was not rigged. We wanted a clear champion as much as you did. The Zune seemed to win most rounds by just a hair, but the compatibility round was the fatal blow to the Zune’s ability to triumph over the incumbent iPod Classic. Microsoft really could have swept the floor with the iPod if it had just buried the hatchet and made the Zune both Mac- and PC-compatible. (Supporting its own DRM-WMA and DRM-WMV formats would have helped, too.)

The fact that the Zune even tied the mighty iPod Classic should be enough to send Apple’s most devout fans into a reactionary hissy-fit. Surely you must have an opinion on which one should have won this fight.
