Would you have thought about it before today? I dare say that most wouldn't.
And yes, this is a black eye the Zune doesn't need. But any rational person (read: no one who posts in blog comments) would acknowledge that this doesn't detract from the features of the device or of the Zune Pass service which has made great strides this year.
Please keep up the good fight against the iPod fans. This is a black eye the Zune doesn't need - but also one it doesn't deserve.
