I’ll grant you, the UI is neat, but I’ll still take the iPod any day of the week. I don’t have a huge investment in iTunes music (buying digital downloads is for chumps-I roll my own MP3s) but I’ve got a few problems with the Zune. First, it doesn’t work with Macs. Steeeeeeeerike one!

Second, it’s ughly. And yes, I meant to spell it like that. Steeeeeeeeeerike two!

And then there’s the DRM it shoves down your throat when you share files. Not that I would bother with that feature, since I have no friends. Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerike three, yerouttaheah!

Nice try, Microsoft, but leave the DAP stuff to the professionals.
