I've had 4 Ipods die within a 2 year time period, the zune is a superior product. Microsoft has enough money to grind things out with the Zune platform until the IPod is no longer dominant. I used to be a mac user a few years back, then I stopped sipping the apple kool aid, the present and future integration with Zune, 360 and Vista will be awesome, and Dominant. Just a matter of time.....
