I agree with the allegation of fanboyism going on. I find it quite amusing that 23 years ago Apple used a “1984″ commercial concept telling everyone to stop listening to the mental programming, yet that’s what they’ve become.

Go to an Apple store – White walls, silver decor, Steve Jobs clones walking around in black shirts and jeans. It’s a creepy temple for the local iCult. Prefer something made by someone else? You’re just plain stupid. Duh.

Personally I am WAY happier with my zune then I ever was with my ipod. I work on windows, I don’t know about mac users, I know for me a big thing was the compatibility issue, especially because apple is a power hungry monster. A also don’t like the scroll wheel, good in idea but terrible in execution. Under imperfect conditions it doesn’t work, in addition the wireless is great, but rarely gets used. The only downsides to the zune- poor battery life (what doesn’t), and size- I’ll live.

I think I’ve been misunderstood. I was joking, I own a Zune myself. It is imported, since I live in Italy, and it’s quite a conversation starter since no-one ever seen one of these here…

Whoa, Chris, I love the comparison between the Xbox and OSX. I mean, it’s like comparing your car’s dashboard to someone’s motorcycle. Uneasy as a whole, though tends to be pretty pro-Apple with a fanboyish bent, so I’m not really that surprised at the jabs at anything suggesting that Apple isn’t the only company out there that’s done good work.

Okay, Matt, seriously. Cool it. It’s a joke.

Do we need to start another conversation about how much better Wii/PS3/OSX is compared to the Xbox?

Stop hitting on the damn Zune, I understand that it’s M$, but so is the XBox and that is by far the best console right now. I absolutely hate Windows but give the Zune a chance. It beats the iPod’s for sure, but of course fanboyism blinds you.

13 users? Really?
I thought they were only 9 out there, I missed the other 4…
