jesus........ the cog icon, the top song/album/artists on the right..... the source menu on the left with the same titles..... can they realy not think of ANY half decent/origional ideas. this is just getting silly.... i just feel sorry for them now.
Its about time apple stopped messin with Pages and produced an "Office" killing app, then they could merrily sue M$ and blow them away. just IMHO.
That demand is so vague as to be useless. iWork focuses on the home user; Office focuses on enterprises but works for home users as well. Office has collaboration; iWork does not.
What is it you want? Yet another clone like OpenOffice.org? Yawn.
I run a small business and I switched to the mac to escape viruses, spyware, malware but I also needed Office (Apple Works did not hit the mark) without office i would have been a little more reluctant to switch.
No one wants a clone IMO, part of the reason PC user switch is because they can still use Office. Pages is rubbish at word processing and I would like to see Apple produce a decent spreadsheet - apple style. It bugs me to use M$ Word/Excel Apple have done it with Keynote so lets finish of the suit and dump m$.

Wait, hang on a sec... The Zune comes with its own app for downloading songs? Uh, why aren't they using Windows Media Player? It's already got access to online music stores and can sync songs to an MP3 player. Are Microsoft abandoning their own applications and creating unnecessary new ones?

yeah I know, the wmp11 beta blows itunes out of the water, and it is only a beta! I cannot understand why they aren't using wmp11.... this zune marketplace looks similiar to it, lets just hope it is as easy to use.
I wonder what the compression for the video will be. Being that Apple is known to use open standards and Microsoft typically uses WMV (or whatever it's called) I imagine the quality will be rather poor on the Zune.
Not to mention the integration between Windows Media Player and the Zune will most likely be very difficult as opposed to the drag and drop ease of use of iTunes. And with iTunes 7, things just got easier.

Doesn't matter how old we are, Microsoft should have seen it coming.

Funny thing is they copied the Apple action menu Icon beside
their option Icon, too. poor.
Although they are looking a bit slim on top artists
Hope this all backfires and chokes them.....plagiarists

Can Creative be any more dead? It's dead. Bloody hell. Die, damnnit, die already!!!!!! Hopefully Zune will finally put it out of its misery.
you do realize that creative sells more mp3 players than apple sells ipods right?
they are the most popular mp3 brand in asia.

Looks very cluttered and not very well organized.

you obviously have never used Windows Media Player 11
oh and about compression... from what I understand MS is very good at compression ( just look at hd-dvd ) or look here.
Looks very cluttered and not very well organized.
yes I hope that isn't the final version. ( although I suppose they will update it soon after launch anyways )
They even copy the reflection effect for there album art

what reflection effect?
Quick, everyone hide, it's a troll!
trying to create more diversity here. can't handle a discussion that has viewpoints different than yours?
