Since we purchased Alienware we've come a long way with teh sexyback.
I think it's obvious.

I like it.
New ads with the return of the Dell guy, running around the parking lots of strip malls, grabbing people by the lapels and screaming "DUDE! YOU'RE GETTING TEH SEXYBACK!!", with lingering reaction shots of his victims faces contorted in terror.
New tag line: "Dell. AAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!"
All the best, Bryan. I don't player hate, I hate the *game* not the player. At best, to use a favourite quote of mine, thou were rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. At worst, thou were receiveth up the arse from Steve "Squirter" Ballmer.
In quite repose, shall we reflect on some favourite moments and quotes:
The Zune's 1 million figure "is spot on with where we thought we'd be," said Bryan Lee, corporate vice president of Microsoft's entertainment group. "Apple is the market leader. We didn't expect to beat them this holiday, but we wanted to be relevant and we wanted a chance to grow. I think we are on plan...Over time, the market share will sort itself out".
Zune owners can share songs with each other but the music only lasts for three days or three plays and that restriction is present regardless of whether the song is copyrighted. But there is a meeting scheduled soon between the music industry and Microsoft to review these restrictions according to the Houston Chronicle. "We're looking for the sweet spot" between content restrictions and consumer convenience, Microsoft VP Bryan Lee said. He also said that other Zune Wi-Fi applications are in development.
In an article in today's New York Times, Microsoft's VP of Entertainment and Devices Bryan Lee is asked about the missing Internet download feature: "Would the Zune ever be able to connect to the Internet? Could someone walk into a Starbucks and use the connection there to download a song? Mr. Lee answered without hesitation: 'Probably, one day.'"
Microsoft revealed they intend to sell 1 million Zunes and 15 million XBOX 360's by June 30 and they are currently on track to reach that number. Bryan Lee, vice-president of entertainment business indicated "It's totally in line with our expectations".

Now see, I just knew someone would chime in with some sort of ridiculous suggestion like that.
I keep telling ya - we already got sexy aplenty over here at Dell.
Design, product range and best of all - we got Vista !
Don't want the ultimate version ? - well, MicroSoft have thought of that for you.
There's a whole range of more affordable options of the new version of Windoz. (sheesh, did I just type that ?) I mean, Windows that you can choose to run.
"Microsoft has predicted it will sell 1 million Zune devices in its first six months, a figure that would be more than Zune’s chief rival iPod sold in its first 14 months but a relatively slow start for the much-hyped MP3 device."
Well, no, after 20 years of strong sales for Sony and becoming an iconic piece of history, I guess no, you don't.
The ironic thing is, that news.com article is mainly talking about Rollins taking over Michael Dell's role in 2005. I guess, the iPod fad has outlasted the Rollins fad.
As for "Dell 2.0" - the company / guy is so unoriginal they have to steal overused memes to state their corporate mission.

Zune is zoon to be zuned!

What is this 'Zune' of which you speak?
If Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer had a child, it would be named Zune.
Zune is zuned
or

And not a moment too zune!
PS: You have crated a brilliant name, btw. But a year from now, people might have trouble deconstructing it....

That's funny because the crown is about to get eaten.
Woot! 1st post.

I thought that one was over. Good thing I was away for a few days, or I would be nearing 7,700.

Microsoft still hopes to sell its millionth Zune by the end of June. 2007...

Rollins was the one who said about the iPod, "It's a fad. There used to be this thing called a Walkman. You don't hear about that anymore, do you."
