It seems pretty pointless to market to Indy-Trendy-Hipster-types if you don't have a software solution fr the platform that they're using.
That's a tricky one. There aren't many Mac users out there who dislike what the iPod has to offer. So, for Microsoft, in working on a native OS X solution, they would have to ask themselves whether they could sway enough Mac users to justify the costs in development.

In the meantime, those serious about using a Zune will often fire up Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion and sync their Zune that way. It's messy, but it works.
