Zune Hardware's Dead: That's the Least of Microsoft's Problems | |
|
||
| Time: 08:29 EST/13:29 GMT | News Source: PC Magazine | Posted By: Andi Stabryla | ||
|
Dear Microsoft: Manage your message or someone will do it for you. Case in point: the recent, none-too-surprising news that the lovely Zune HD will meet a timely death. Within minutes of the news breaking, stories and tweets flooded the Internet declaring, "The Zune is Dead." This was followed by people asking if everything "Zune" was gone or just the hardware. I assured people that the obvious answer was the hardware only, but is it that obvious? And why wasn't Microsoft out in front of this information? | ||

Lies! Liberating Technologies tells the truth:
http://blog.libertech.net/blogs/lketchum/archive/2008/02/19/what-we-ll-see-this-year.aspx "Apple will release new iPods (so what), but the sleeper ride in the room is the Zune II. With its all you can eat buffet of growing content, it'll quickly eat up Apple market share in the higher end of the DMP space." Suck on that Apple with your lame ipod's that no-one wants! The Zune will live forever!! |

| You guys really shouldn't be talking about this. Paul Thurrott reported this story a long time ago! Everyone just move on now... |
| #3 By 2 (136.142.138.106) at 3/15/2011 8:52:13 AM |
| Well, the official word is out yesterday |

| #1: What do you mean? He's spot on! After all, a LOT of Zunes (or at least a a high percentage of the few that were actually sold) are going to end up in the higher end of the DMP space where they store the electronics to be recycled. |

You guys just don't get it. Paul Thurrott has been saying for a while now that the Zune brand is disappearing. Paul mourns the Zune brand, but he also speaks the truth.
Let’s move on now, shall we? |

| I trust PT before I would trust Lloyd. |

| #6: Ten years ago, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the two. At least PT evolved over the years from being a mindless MS fanboy to something a little more objective. I haven't read him in years so I could be wrong. |

| It's awesome to see how far off that dude was on his predictions. Is he dead by the way? I remember he was sick or something and now none of his sites seems to have been updated in a long time. |

| I would trust Al Jazeera before PC Rag. |
