I agree. The price has to be right for MS to make any kind of run. Especially during its debut.
Still I think the biggest hurdle they will face, is how to spring all of the iPod users from their captive format. Until they can do that, it will continue to be an uphill battle.
Also, assuming that Zune is compatible with Windows Media Player (and that is a pure assumption on my part), I'm sure stores like Urge will not be left out in the cold. While allowing for the "seemless" integration with Zune Market place.
