Microsoft presented too hilarious a target to avoid taking a cheap shot at. I have at least a couple co-workers who work heavily with the iPod and another one who tried to see the Zune work at a big box store; the experience was so comical, buggy and discouraging that any Wall Streeter with an IQ over 70 would know that the Zune will be the next albatross hanging around Gates and Ballmer’s necks.
Then I stumbled upon the results of this gag site’s photo captioning contest. Numbers two, three and four had me laughing for quite some time.
Sure it’s petty to poke fun at Microsoft’s latest money pit but the people behind the Zune must be very cynical, naive, optimistic or some combinations of all three.
