Zune-iTunes Compatitability Question, Answered!
I have been getting a some flack lately from certain sources both within and outside of Redmond: they maintain that there is absolutely no reason why the Zune should not be able to auto-sync with iTunes on any platform! They say;
"open it up Steve, open it up!"
Let me just say it this way, whenever anyone says to me, "open it up Steve", I know what they plan to do next!
I am not falling for it!
They are absolutely correct that the Zune could very easily sync with any software, on any platform. So why doesn't it?
answer: Because I DON'T WANT IT TO!
Microsoft is the majority company! We control 92% of the desktops, let them come crawling to us!
Rolling over for minority companies and their "me too" software would set a bad precedent.
