Very nice. I love the new site and the large amount of content. I might try that Zune desktop...

Gotta love the lion commercial. Just looked at zune.net. It's brown!

The conspiracy theorists think MS organized the research poll. These ipod lemmings...lol, if anything, they keep things interesting.

Yeah, really out of this world that m$ would try viral marketing. Or any company would. Ridiculous really. Wait a minute...where am I right now?! In all seriousness, zune.net is gorgeous and I can't wait to go home and put that desktop on my comp. The 14th can't come soon enough!

Love the Lion and Gazelle, and zune.net is well put together as well.

RE: Zune.net and the "Zune Pass" So, $14.99 per month, or $44.97 for 3 months.... Don't most subscription services usually give a discount when purchasing more than 1 month at a time?

I dig the Zune desktop!

Regarding that poll: 58% OF IPOD OWNERS WOULD SWITCH TO ZUNE We called ABI for more details on how the poll was conducted. We've posted the exact questions asked by the ABI pollsters to iPod owners. For the curious, the wording for the three poll questions is posted at the Zunerama blog - permalink: http://www.zunerama.com/#061101_zune4_story Harvey Editor, Zunerama

Wow this is great and I love the new desktop theme, thanks.

The theme from Zune.net for windows is AMAZING! It looks great on my computer :) and Zune PC software looks pretty good too!

how good of an idea is that zune theme? it's brilliant. it promotes a strong link of continuity between using your computer and listening to music. damn, that was a good idea. also, the website looks great. very approachable and informative. oh, and i met cesar at the cmj party last night and they had some zunes running around and i actually got to use one. let me tell you, it is 10 times better in person. simple to use and looks great. it feels a lot more solid than i thought it would be. also, the screen is ANTI-GLARE. i think that is a huge deal. i hate trying to change songs on my ipod in daylight. i serisouly hely the zune in front of a video camera flash and could still see the screen perfectly. thanks for the invite cesar. most fun ive had in a chinese palace.

serisouly hely = seriously held. my b.

Not a bad website but the desktop theme is really sweet.

IMHO, the iPod is now iPassé. I suspect that there is a pent-up demand for "something different". In addition, the iPod is too ubiquitous to qualify as "cool", and iPod's "new" models are pretty uninspired. The timing looks good for introduction of Zune.

On http://www.zune.net/en-us/meetzune/device.htm# I don't see any What's In The Box List. No standard USB cable? No software CD?

Wow! The new theme's awesome. I love it! Also, I'm suddenly feeling more bullish about the prospects of the Zune. Great job with the marketing so far.

Zune.net web site is elegant . except for few annoying popups for pictures and videos. when the whole world is avoiding popups. why the hell MS ..is still using them. Atleast soapbox is excellent on that respect. In one single page we can browse thro the whole soapbox. Anyways, congratulations on launching zune.net

THIS AD ROCKS!!!! A++++ I love ad and the Zune XP theme. Keep em coming Zune Team! Excellent work!

Now THAT's what you should be using for the Zune TV spots. Not the lame other ones that show like 1 milisecond of the actual Zune before getting back to people hugging dogs!

I cant believe I found a mention of the word podcast on the site I didnt think Microsoft knew about them. I will still stay with my recently purchased Ipod and Itunes so I can have integrated Podcast management. Zune might be a nice player but if the supporting software is lacking then it reflects on the player Apple seem to have figured this out a while ago

A little over a year ago the Zune team partnered with CSS. We preloaded them onto last year's Zune 30,
