Why the people at microsoft are idiots
(I'm only talking about the zune team) The reason why people at Microsoft are idiots is because their refusal to expand the zune franchise. The ZuneHd had so much potential but Microsoft decided that it's success in the ZuneHd that they would not let it flourish. First off, their biggest problem is not releasing a decent SDK for the ZuneHd that took advantage of the Nvidia Tegra chip. Also their refusal to open a marketplace for 3rd party apps, which made sites like zhdapps.com have to open up. Also someone that was interviewed at CES 2010, said the main thing people would see at CES was APPS, Camparing it to the "gold rush" to get on the internet several years ago. And saying there is an apps gold rush. So at CES 2010 I had high hopes for the Zune franchise, hoping microsoft would announce new apps, 3rd party apps marketplace, and possibly a new zune. But all Microsoft did was say the long awaited Facebook app was coming, and the ZuneHd would have more video codec support. And a last negative point is their lack of marketing. I have seen zero commercials on TV since it's arrival and minimal advertisements on the internet. But there is still hope, Microsoft recently announced the integration with WinMo and XboxLive, possibly supporting XBLA games. And they have also announced Zune and WinMo integration. But the original author who wrote the article on engadget.com said it would "make too much sense" for them to do this, I know this sounds stupid as you would expect they would do the logical thing. But the zune team has time and time again done stupid things. So, if you actually read all of my whining, I'm going to end it with one metaphor. The Zune team is like a 6 year old boy who won't do what his mom wants because it would make her happy. We the consumers are the sad mom, and The zune team is the 6 year old boy who wont do what we want
