I am suprised that everyone here is talking about "new" features and coolness of zune but the biggest issue with Zune is virtually un-noticed. I am a senior developer myself on MS techs and I think new zune pc s/w is piece of crap. absolute piece of shit. it may look good but thats about it. so so many people are complaining about it and no one at MS is listening. I think that is why this product is doomed. One thing I tell you, if you cant sync what you want and how you want, your product is a failure. I can write page after page about what is wrong with this software but i suggest some MS guy just show it to some non-MS usability expert and they will get the idea. I can’t edit my ID3 tags for multiple files, I cant see clearly what I have added for sync (like recently added feature in v1.0), my radio quality deteriorated….the list doesnt stop.

I am so pissed off and so mad at myself for upgrading my zune 30 to v2.0. I am going to try to downgrade now and if my zune becomes a paper weight, so be it. I am NEVER buying a PMP from MS. NEVER!!

Thanks for the great interview Chris!!!

Wish he could have said more about future stuff, but he told just enough to make me want one even more.

At least he did say they’re listening about the HD.� I mean that would be a really cool feature.

I expect some firmware updates that will add some things down the road. Like hopefully a clock or partition/hd option.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, props on the interview Chris.

Good interview, but I think he could at least give us a few clues about colors….or that the HD feature is out there for the future. What fun is an interview if you don’t get some dirt ;)

I’ve come to think that quite a few issues that people have with their Zunes should be fixed in future firmware releases.

Or hacks.

Oh! come on! we need atleast some hints into those future questions. At least an assurance that we won’t have to wait another year for updates.

Yes it was. the fact that there was an interview at all says something about the zune compared to the ipod don’t you think?
