The Zune was amazing. Blew my iPod classic out of the water. I'm still mad it got stolen.

Microsoft just fucked up marketing it.

MS doesnt do "cool". They have been desperate for years to try to capture it and they never have any idea what cool looks and feels like so their adverts for their shit is always so dorky and uncool.

Also they never support anything long after it comes out because the only vision they have is winning sales

They also like to try to shoehorn themselves into an already captured market quite often, but they don't get sales and drop it like you said.
