I edited your post because you can't re-publish someone else's entire article without their permission.
Now regarding the author, I had an email exchange with him about his article and the inaccuracies it contained. For instance, he claims that the Zune's wireless synch only works when plugged into power. I informed him that he was in error, that while the automatic sync occurs when plugged into power, it was in fact possible to manually trigger a sync from the Zune without it being plugged into power.
I assumed that he'd correct his article with the proper facts. He did not, claiming instead that wireless sync was "useless" and Microsoft was a predatory monopolist that makes horrible products, blah blah blah. He's not interested in facts, he only wants to write that supports his own opinion.
The guy is a talented writer, but a bigoted nutjob in every way.
