Yea but asking who has issues on a tech enthusiast site, on a general consumer device, is really going to skew results. Whatever. I expect that number is overblown.

Can't say I disagree on a lot of your complaints though. Lots of stuff on the new Zune I have no use for, and would like to remove. Whether I knew or not about the Zune reliance on it's own software, it certainly was something I decried at the outset. Saw no reaso tha the Zune couldn't be an extension of Media Player and/or Media Center where I had already spent a good deal of time setting up ratings and playlists. My Portable Media Center devie interfaces seemed fine, mirroring my Media Center PC. With Media Center UI on most Vista and Win 7 PCs why couldn't an equivalent display be on my MS portable player...and what should the SYNC option on Media Center sync with if not a MS portable media player?
