Well, to tell the truth, it seems to be a wonderful piece of technology, especially for the price. I mean, it’s much more capable than an iPod at nearly the same price. I’m for one quite excited for the prospect of owning a Zune after Linux has finally been ported onto it.

This story actually misquoted the Mr. Bach. He actually said, “When we finish our fiscal year in June we’ll have sold a little over a million Zunes, so we feel very good about that.” So they haven’t already done it…quite a major error in the story. You can see the details or the error here:

“SHIPPED” is not the same as sold except for a guy who hanging onto his job – though after the holidays when MS is third in the console business, he’ll be Zune gone.

MS has a habit of having/edict of counting SHIPPED as the same as SOLD (Xbox & “sales” numbers are really “shipped” numbers)

Now, after the iPod bin I wonder how many of their own Zunes they bought…
