Zune not compatible with Microsoft Vista!?
This post was published 3 years 6 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.Talk about sealing the deal concerning Microsofts latest “iPod Killer”, the Zune. See the screenshot below. The negativity concerning the device is astounding. It seems like every feed announcement today has something to do with problems transfering songs, OS incompatibilities, and poor design.
What a PR mess for Microsoft. Don’t release a half-bake device which you claim to compete with the reigning champ – Apple’s own iPod. Additional info and screenshots can be seen at AppleInsider.
Does anyone actually want one of these things?!
Not anymore…
It is first gen tech. It’s taking a leap by adopting it. Just like the MacBooks. There will be problems. Some bigger than others.
LoL …
the funniest part is Microsoft chosing THAT background picture for the software installer.
You can literally feel the pain of the girl xD>.. not very user friendly
Orgasm girl can’t belive it doesn’t work on Vista either…
On the full background picture there are actually 3 girls.
The one with pain, that’s taking most of the space in this one, and 2 other girls, one above the other.
and lol @ the above coment too xD
Welcome to the social!!!
My thoughts on this: http://microsoftshitbrick.com/
ironic… the only word i can find for this
I might get one when they support video sharing.
@xSmurf:
Ha ha. Thanks, that’s hysterical. It’s just FAB to see Apple on top and Microsoft being the turd!
Nice to see that it isnt officially supported by something that isnt officially out yet. /yawn
And what? Even now, Apples OS suffers from the bulk of compatibility issues with other products, you guys can laugh all you want but in the end Apple will still have less than 5% of the PC market and Microsoft and Windows will continue to be one of the most successful business’ of all time.
Fuck cutsey Macs….
Brandon above may not like MACs, but he has to deal with a bazillion viruses, haha. In the meantime, we MAC users can concentrate on the finer things. Microsoft used to laugh at Apple and its iPods too, but look what they just launched…
Zuma, yeah who needs it, they’re about 5 years too late and will probably not gain more than let’s say 5% of the iPod market???
~live out loud~
meh… I will pass on both… give me a Zen
just like every thing else microsoft releases, poorly designed and over hyped
@David,
“In the meantime, we MAC users can concentrate on the finer things”
Is this a video of those finer things?

As a user of many different system environments (Mac included), and a fanboy of no one, I can honestly say that all tech companies falter from time to time. Nobody’s perect. However, when said company happens to be the largest/most powerful of it’s kind, it does stick out like a sore thumb.
I went and saw one at a Best Buy yesterday. My first impression, poor design, it’s quite ugly. Second, the screen is poor. Come no were close to the ipod. And while the thing is rated as being heavier then the ipod, it feels like a light piece of crap in your hand.
Plus the fake scroll wheel that is just a d-pad, booooo!
@ Matt,
Those Mac problems were so OS9! Update yourself mate. :)
Call me a techie, but isn’t it sort of silly to go buy something that only does music, and still spend $250 to $400. I have a ipaq, that I can stream internet radio to. I’m not stuck listening to the infinite number of songs that I can put on an endless supply of dirt cheap SD Cards, no, even though I’ve had as many as 30 full cd’s of music, and 3 full length dvd movies all on one SD card I still seem to find it necessary to listen to internet radio, for free. I can play dang near any type of video that I want to, albeit with some conversion. I can program the thing to turn on any infra red device, (TV, DVD PLAYER, XBOX 360, VCR, TUNER, ALL OF THE TV”S AT WALMART). oh, but that’’s not all. I can bluetooth or Wi-Fi any file that I want to to anywhere I want to, without limitations, without DRM, etc. For that matter, i downloaded a halo3 screenshot on to my iPAQ while I was taking a crap, and then bluetoothed it to my phone, and set it as the wallpaper. Oh yeah, I almost forgot all of the things I actually bought it for, like editing documents in native office format, or viewing pdf’s of some random schematic. or as an alarm clock, or a date book, or a contact list, or to handle all of my email from the last 4 years.
So my point is this, why the hell would any of you buy something that’s loaded with DRM and limitations, when you can do all of that and a whole lot more with a comparable priced PDA. It just seems like a waste of money to me. P.S. 4 GB cards are less than $90, and I’ve never even filled up my 2 GB.
I totally agree………i have a very simple/cheap Palm Zire 31. while the screen rez aint too high i can still enjoy all the music and videos i want and at the same time do other stuff like play games/use engineering softwares……….
just wish it had wifi………
