Also, there's a whole level of security that MS has built into the zune, I forget what it's called, but I'm sure that wouldn't be fun to mess with.

The underlying bootloader is probably inside a chip in the Zune that is not accessible except possibly by removing the chip and reading it with some sort of connector.
We already know how to dump the Zune's firmware... It does not help in allowing us to replace the Zune's firmware.
