Something I noticed in the Sunday newspaper ad blitz that began this past weekend for Zune: Nowhere in *any* of the ads did it identify the Zune as being a Microsoft product.

What's *that* tell you about this guaranteed loser? Microsoft is so intent on protecting digital rights that they are goig to drive people away from their products, so they're just sort of soft peddling the fact that it is their device in the ads?

Vista is also going to see a major loss in market share for them, I believe. I don't think many people are eager to upgrade to an OS that is designed around preventing them from doing things that they were able to do before.
