Really make sense for them to do that...

Talk of Zune Pass.... hahaha, I really want it on different platform. Imagine that 1 subscription can take you from xbox, pc, zune, wm and different devices. Life would be good.]]>Sep 6th 2008 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/

Respect Microsoft Zune team. :)

Why can't all Windows run as smooth as the Zune software?! 60 fps, useful and responsive all the time!]]>Sep 6th 2008 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/
But did you really think windows 98 was a good system ? I thought is crashed ALOT froze ALOT and generally sucked.]]>Sep 6th 2008 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/Sep 6th 2008 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/Sep 6th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/
I love everything about the Zune except the software..it's really pretty and all, but that's about it
I don't see a need to make another piece of media software when they could have just added a plug-in or something to Windows Media Player, or even make it compatible like all the other PMPs that work with it. There might be the issues of technologies of how these players get their music on the devices or whatever, but come on. Why would poeple want to have Zune software AND Windows Media Player.
Why should I have to manage 2 libraries. It would have been cool if they at least used the same library..

Oh yea..I miss the search feature from Windows Media Player..wish the Zune software had something similar..

Actually if anything I would hope windows media player just goes away and they put zune as the defacto media player in windows.... its the one getting serious improvement regularly where wmp is making the same mistake media center does and forcing its updates to only happed with major windows releases.

MS needs to raise the bar, and get more stricter with what goes on every WinMo phone. Like specific hardware features (Bluetooth, WiFi, accelerometors, GPS, 3G, etc.) has to happen for ALL WinMo phones. The more standardized WinMo is, the more easier it is for developers to make applications that work for all phones. Carriers shouldn't be allowed to put worthless crap, and just simply go behind the scenes and do their job and just transmit the data.

And of course, WinMo needs to be redesigned with consumers in mind, instead of just business and "the basics". Having a Zune-like experience would be wonderful, but there has to be more built-in storage than what's currently available on phones out there. ]]>Sep 6th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/microsoft-job-posting-hints-at-cross-platform-zune-environment/
What? You have to be kidding... Windows Mobile isn't popular because it's crap. First of all, it has a horrendous interface that was conceived by idiots a decade ago, and is a complete pain in the ass to use. It's slow, buggy, and crashes all the time, and it's very complex for an average person to use. Please go try an iPhone, and then come back and tell me that Windows Mobile should be popular.

Microsoft's only real option for windows mobile is to start completely over. They should take an existing kernel and lower-level system libraries from Linux and then build a brand new modern mobile OS on top of it, perhaps all in managed C# like singularity, or at least include native support for .NET 3.0. that is what is so crazy about MS. The .NET platform was the best thing they ever came up with. They need to make a break with the past, and create a new system for both mobile and desktop based on an efficient micro-kernel and developed from the ground up with the CLR.

Oh well, at least Sandisk supports drag-n-drop in OS X.

Apple is the king of the locked to software design.

As for the meta tags, I have never had a single problem with them, I mean, if you want to set them yourself.
