Privacy alert! ;-)</span><br /><br />And the videos just keep flowing. Duncan Mackenzie from <a href="http://www.on10.net/" target="_blank">on10.net</a>, and his buddy, Brian Johnson, got their hands on two pre-production Zunes and decided to put Microsoft's 3 plays / 3 days sharing to the test. Everything seems quite fluid, though don't expect it to work all that great outside of the US, where come November 14, the Zune will be almost non-existent. Duncan's video is five-and-a-half minutes long.
