The next salvo

Because a day without negative Zune press would be a day without laughter.

Is Microsoft counting on Steve Jobs' Obstinance?

A look at MS and Apple actions leading to possible MS victory. Not a victory based on a good product, of course, but on tricks – and that's why BZ exists.
Best line: "Plays for Sure: Now with less than 1 in 4 chances of actually playing!"

The end is coming, Zune

This from a Microsoft fan (they exist!) who wants the Zune to succeed: "But the Zune is another piece of marketing and design fluff crammed into a shallow attempt to capture revenue from a pre-existing market."

Microsoft doesn't want Zune lost in the Shuffle

"Still, even if it reaches that level of sales, Microsoft still regards Zune as a long-term effort that will take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars." No real BZ-worthy Zune-bashing here, just a reminder (and warning) that MS plans to "win" the music player market by out-spending the competition. (Or at least it says it will. Victims of its past abandoned music schemes have reason to doubt MS's resolve.)

Microsplot is built upon an older site poking fun at the Zune music player. But that wasn't too fun (see details). The whole world of tech is full of wonders, good and bad, and it's more enjoyable to take a crack at any worthy target.
