MS chose brown as a colour for their poorly-named Zune, which ’squirts’ data???
Bad choice of words and colour.

Is the Zune purely greed fuelled? What benefits does it have?

Buy an iPod.

Oh how quaint, MS releases an iPod-act-a-like years after Apple released the iPod. Months after the release of Zune, Apple then announces how their new device will blow away all the other [not so] “smart phones”.

I can’t wait till MS releases their one-up for cell phones. I’m sure it’ll be a sight to CE.

MS was formed from a bunch of geeky engineers and til this day is ruled by a bunch of geeky enginners. I can easily imagine a bunch of middle aged geeky tech people referring to the transferral of data from device to device as “squirting” without any clue as to the meaning of the term to the main stream consumer. Can’t you ? They can write code and they know how to take a business position but they don’t know d!ck about marketing.
