So I ask this question seriously.
How many people know of anyone who owns a Zune? I only know of 2 and they are husband and wife so that is just one household.

Bill Gates and Ballmer's kids probably comprise 10% of the Zune owners.

I would actually think that the direct Gates and Balmer family
members are really pissed off that they can't enjoy the fun.  |

I never said they were *happy* owners< g>. Heck even Bill's wife wishes she had an iPhone.

All jokes aside! In all my travels and I see a lot of people in a month, quarter, year using all kinds of gadgets and phones, I have NEVER seen a Zune in person. I've seen them in the stores (with no one standing near the display I might ad), but never seen a single person using one and I look! I look especially when it's not an iPod to see what it might be? Not once has it been a Zune.

I have seen one Zune in use. Neighbor kid came back from Florida over winter break and someone left it on the plane. We tried to see if there was a name anywhere, but it is one of the most NON intuitive devices ever produced.
The video posted is from January 2007 right after MacWorld where the phone was announced. Give Balmer a little credit for being a "company man"  Dave McGuire "What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?" |

Most of you probably remember the comment (don't know where) that the best way to protect your iPod from theft is to gut a Zune & use it as a case for the iPod.
