Why should I need special software to transfer files? I already have special software... it's called an operating system. iTunes and the Zune could just as easily drop the special file systems and transfer protocols, and perform standard file operations on devices mounted as storage. Why can't they just do that?]]>Oct 31st 2008 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/31/how-would-you-change-microsofts-new-zunes-v3-0-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/31/how-would-you-change-microsofts-new-zunes-v3-0-software/Nov 1st 2008 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/31/how-would-you-change-microsofts-new-zunes-v3-0-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/31/how-would-you-change-microsofts-new-zunes-v3-0-software/

Make it easier for users to put games onto their Zunes.

I have Vista64 running on several machines, and a laptop, I've had (0) downtime except update restarts. So far, Vista is Microsoft's most stable, rock solid, secure and best OS (in my opinion). I wouldn't need an update to it.. Although, I love the new UI, and the Libraries feature in Explorer by the way.

Although I like the new version, and we have 4 Zunes in this house, 30 GB, 2@8GB and a new 120GB there's a couple of small items I'd like fixed.

1) I'd like the Zune to appear as a storage device easier than doing a registry hack..
2) Fix the bloody conflict with Illustrator (Adobe or Microsoft whoever)

I think you missed the point. Look at your own numbers. Vista isn't dominating XP. I think very few people are buying it without replacing their old PCs which for many people are running just fine on XP.

I'll just hazard a guess here: Vista upgraders are big Microsoft fanboys and the rest of the people who bought Vista did so because they bought a new computer and that's what they got. By the time Windows 7 comes around, more people will be interested because it will launch much more smoothly than Vista did and it will offer a freshened interface. The fanboys will upgrade again and people still on XP will upgrade as well. Windows 7 will succeed in higher numbers than Vista.

By comparison, Mac users are almost all Mac fanboys who upgrade with every new version of OSX. That's what Microsoft wants but so far has not been able to achieve. But with Microsoft's confusing price structures it's no wonder. Make one or two versions of Windows. That's it. We don't need all those different versions. And bring the price down to something people are willing to spend every few years.]]>Nov 1st 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/31/how-would-you-change-microsofts-new-zunes-v3-0-software/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/31/how-would-you-change-microsofts-new-zunes-v3-0-software/
More like Mac users are almost all hipsters who upgrade with every new version so they don't get pointed and laughed at while living at starbucks.

According to NetApplications, Vista now has ~19% market share. To put that into perspective, almost one in five computers that connect to the internet now runs Vista.
