Fly me to the Zune.

I did read somewhere that the people who named Microsoft's new wonder I-Pod killer media gizmo didn't really do their research properly and "Zune" is a word for the male generative member in French Canadian - which adds a whole new interesting meaning to "Est ce que vous desirez d'ecouter a mon Zune?".

Not that I can see anyone with half an ounce of sense buying one anyway. The killer feature is that it can "share" music! W00t!! Sounds great until you realise that sharing means you have three days to listen to the tune that your friend has shared with you and then it dissapears (ditto if you have the temerity to actually like it and listen to it or even a part of it more than three times) and you can't share anything anyone has shared to you. This is advertised as "Welcome to the Social" which, if you're from the North, rather sounds like you're going down the local workies club for a cheap pint.

To be honest if Micro$oft have had any sense they will have made this share feature really easy to crack so kids will buy it and share all their downloaded MP3s with their mates - M$ don't lose out as they're not a music company and everyone trades in their I-Plods for Willies Zunes. Of course Microsoft can claim that this is just another in a long line of security flaws for which they are famous and not deliberate at all.

On the same thread... how long do you recon before the first Zune virus.
