The Zune and it's software lack a lot of features, but I look past them. I'm not sure if everyone will, though. I think Microsoft would have much more respect if they had done better with the first-generation devices. They were not visually appealing overall (though this counts as an opinion, a widespread one, though). The newer Zunes are much better, though, and do a great job when stacked up against the 80GB iPod Classic. It is in it's infancy, so I can see some things being looked over. But some issues are just unreal. No clock? The six months with the crippled software? I had a hard time recommending the Zune to any iPod owners simply because I knew what they would have to deal with when converting to the software. It's better now, but still not where it should be.
