I wonder if the first generation Zune will be like the first generation Xbox which was plagued by low quality, proprietary DVD drives that burned and scratched the game dvds, requiring multiple purchases, and inferior hard disks (and I won't mention the power cords which were subject to spontaneous combustion) requiring factory replacements, and excessivly high and delayed warrantee repairs.
and then there is the issue of compatibility: first generation xbox games are generally incompatible with the second generation Xbox 360. will Microsoft guarantee that first generation programming for the Zune will be compatible with the second generation Zune 360...
Ipod programming (ie music) is compatible with all generations of Ipods with comparable hardware capabilities (ie. music players play the music, music players do not necessarily play the video)
Microsoft does not have a good track record of hardware production and support: maybe they hope that the consumer has an exceptionally short memory.
