I'm gay - keep your homophobic comments to yourself jerk.

2) For me... I don't care how good the software/firmware updates are because I've never been able to install them without investing an hour or two. I run the windows update to make sure my system is current, run the installer, read the error message when it crashes, Google the worthless message, download another installer, watch it crash, remove all of the zune software (with the third party uninstaller) and manually remove remaining registry entries, and install it again and sync my zune overnight.

I love the zune, the software, the screen, yada yada yada... I appreciate the updates and firmware upgrades for free, yada yada yada... and I still download and wrestle with this stuff despite the hassle. I just wish Microsoft could get an installation package right.]]>Jan 24th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.microsoftzuneinjuries.com/]]>Feb 3rd 2008 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.microsoftzuneinjuries.com/]]>Feb 3rd 2008 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/Feb 3rd 2008 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3715326703_6d2ac78330.jpg}}]]>Jul 13th 2009 2:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/Jan 22nd 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/Jan 22nd 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/
The iPod classic, maybe. I mean it is a 2 year old design but it's nice to see Microsoft catch up (aside from hard drive capacities).

The iPod touch, however? Nope.

The iPod nano? Nope.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/Jan 22nd 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/11/zune-tattoo-guy.html

I believe a Zune was Microsoft's answer to the old 5G iPod. It wasn't a very good answer, either. They say it has far more features than any iPod, but it never sold very well. However, the Zune sells very well in the Bizarro world.

There's some guy in this forum that always tells people to get Steve Job's dick out their mouth. The reason is that he also wants to get a suck for a taste of Steve Jobs lemon-colored Kool-Aid.

This "dick in the mouth" guy is a retard with very poor social habits by the way he personally attacks fellow forum members with nasty remarks for having a difference of opinion.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/And yet his post is rated higher than yours.

Although Zeus' post was a bit harsh, his point is clear enough. The Zune is not in the background. In its second generation it's gotten more popularity than most other iPod alternatives. It's got a great userbase. I know five people that have them, one that is going to buy one, and two that desperately desire one... PERSONALLY. The original sarcastic post was simply asking for it.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/
and @Steffen Jobs: Ya, cause we all know that the zune 80 doesn't compare at ALL to the current gen ipod classic. It's just the same storage, roughly the same size, much bigger screen, has wifi with wifi sync, is made with better materials, and a really smooth, quick ui(unlike the classic's horribly horribly slow ui and unuseable coverflow)]]>Jan 22nd 2008 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/Jan 22nd 2008 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/microsoft-rolls-out-zune-2-3-software-update-with-fixes-aplenty/
Whats a Zune? Well, if you don't know, then you should probably just crawl back under your bridge, because you're already too late for the party.
