Why? Because Microsoft is developing that one entirely in-house. As we saw from just about every product they&#8217;ve put out, the second or third iteration is when they get things right. By half-skipping over the painful first-gen by using Toshiba, Microsoft may just shortcut their way into a great player.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The trick here is that if people find that the &#8220;Painful&#8221; first generation is painful, and that the real Zune isn&#8217;t for one or two more generations. Then no one will buy the first generation Zune, there will be no Zune community <em>(one of the other points)<\/em> and Zune will fail.<\/p>\n<p>It took MS two years to get to windows 3.11, it too 3 years for MS to get to XP service pack 2. And second and third generation Zune is at least that far in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The easy recomendation here is, save your money, or buy something else <em>(an iPod comes to mind)<\/em>.
