As I type this I'm watching a movie on my Zune 80GB second gen. I really like this player but I took the chance that buying it, Microsoft would drop the line shortly after unlike Apple. Now that they took this route, which honestly was not surprising, I have little doubt that I would purchase another MS product again. My player is working just fine but I'm sure it's soon when they'll discontinue the updates to the Zune software.

true unlike ipods i've never had a zune break on me

This is sad day..

I love my zune HD, and with the mess that WP7 is in I just don't see me buying one any time in the next few months.

i own a WP7 and there's nothing wrong with it at all
dont' believe what the apple lovers push in the news
