The Microsoft Zune, which is receiving generally horrible press, has already had its
DRM cracked.. or at least you can use it as a portable hard drive if you want, which wasn't in its original feature set, but it is really more of a hack than a crack.. and still a pain in the ass. So what? Gizmodo seemed to
like the Zune on first look. The real question is how badly is negative press going to impact sales? Also, are they making the right decision by tying themselves to a single consumer outlet (
Zune Marketplace)? We won't know for quite some time and if this guy had to guess, I'd say it will play out very similarly to the Xbox vs. Play Station debacle.. sluggishly, like a slow and painful death.. for someone.
