And with that sale comes the stupidity of not being compatible with Microsoft's own music service. People buy Apple for "just works" and for coolness. Why buy Microsoft? And who picked brown as a 'hip' color!?

Even a feature as basic as the disk mode, though, adds complexity, Microsoft said. For example, users sometimes get confused between songs that can be played versus those that are transferred to a player only as a file in disk mode. By making the Zune software the only way to move items onto a Zune, Microsoft hopes to eliminate any confusion. And although Microsoft is starting with a small feature list, Erickson said the company will be able to make additions fairly quickly through software updates. First on that list is compatibility with Windows Vista.
