Top Ten Reasons the Microsoft Zune is a turd1. It's just as proprietary and closed as the iPod2. It won't work with any of the other Microsoft PlaysForSure Music Stores3. You can't use Windows Media Player to load the Zune with Music4. Built in Wifi connects you to other Zune's only - not wireless networks5. You can share songs with other Zune's over wifi, but they will auto-delete after 3 days, and you can NEVER send them to that person again6. It even imposes DRM and 3 day sharing limits to files YOU create add to your Zune - like mp3's from your garage band7. You can share music and photos with other Zune's over wifi - but NOT video8. The Zune store doesn't sell tv shows, movies, audio books, or have podcasts9. There are no additional apps, no stopwatch, no clock, no address book, etc.10. It comes in brown. Are they advertising it's a turd?!?http://www.microsoftshitbrick.com/
