SuperSite for Windows: Zune Not So Super

"I told my friend that Microsoft's device couldn't just be as good as the iPod. It had to be dramatically better. It had to offer obvious and immediate benefits over Apple's system and it had to be priced lower... Microsoft took absolutely none of my advice"

Another Zune review, this time from Paul Thurrott of SuperSite for Windows. Paul's review is mostly negative, primarily with complaints about the software and marketplace experience. (Although Paul does point out that the installation process is not all too different from a new iTunes / iPod installation.) He does give some nice props to the hardware and interface, which I completely agree with. Even with the slight size increase over the iPod, hardware wise, the Zune gets my nod over iPod. Overall Paul finds the Zune to be a decent device, but still lacking in features to be a true competitor. I was refreshed, especially in such a negative review, to see Paul mention that too much has been made of the Zune's compatibility issues with Vista; confidant an updated release will be made available before Vista's consumer availability.
