True, except I want to know how the Zune interface might be better. Just because I'm OK with the status quo doesn't mean that I'd ignore something better. I just need to be convinced that it is better.

You missed the point. It's not about what you call your stuff, it's about what other people call your stuff. If you called somebody's Ferrari a "jalopy", don't you think they might get upset? Or, a bit more personally, if somebody calls himself a "dumb sucker", that's cool, but would you really be surprised if he got upset if you called him that?

Besides, you more or less asked why it would upset somebody. I explained that. Saying that's not how you would react is rather irrelevant.

The fact is that Windows Mobile is a lot more than a "phone OS"; it's a PDA OS that includes phone functions. If anybody bought a Windows Mobile phone and didn't use it as anything other than a phone, I'd wonder why they bought it.
