More Zune rants

I've already blogged about most of these points here, but the author of this article, "Avoid the loony Zune" makes some good points about Microsoft and its dealings with the wider music industry.

There are far more positive reviews at the Zune scene's Zune Owner Reviews page, and I guess this helps to balance all the bad press Zune has been getting since release.

Despite reading 100 "good reviews", I still find it hard to look past the DRM, lack of podcast support, next to useless WiFi and the Zune points system for buying tracks. The sad thing is, Microsoft's famous marketing prowess will probably convince most users that these things aren't important.
