One big thing Zune did right

Even with a big update, there are still many areas where the Zune comes up short when compared to Apple's iPod.

It's easy to argue that Apple still has the lead in styling, breadth of video content, add-on accessories, and software and compatibility. (Zune works only on Windows PCs.) Not to mention the fact that Microsoft has nothing to match Apple's iPod Touch with its ability to surf the Web and run a wide range of add-on programs.

But there are a couple of areas where Microsoft deserves significant credit. The most important, from my perspective, is that every feature that Microsoft has added to the Zune is available for free to owners of previous generation Zunes.

Well yeah Microsoft does not nickel and dime you to death like Apple always does.

It should be expected that you get updates for free after spending $150+ on a music player.

I don't hate Apple, but what they do is just so retarded 95% of the time I just have to go on rants about them.
