A video propagating the Zune sharing marketing hype?

Zune sharing straight from the Zune product manager:

I know its not an official Zune/MS ad, but I just hope MS doesnt resort to Apple's desperate tactics. I prefer it when a product speaks for itself. What Apple doesnt realize is that, those ads put Apple products in a box..i.e 20-30 age bracket.

Franco,

Many adults are looking to their computer savvy 20-30 something children, grand-children and friends for buying advice. Not always the case, but often. Does Apple know this?

A year ago I was recommending Dell and XP Pro. Now I recommend Macs and have switched over a dozen relatives and friends.

BTW: While I don't think Zune was released feature complete, I have no blood oath against Microsoft. I started with DOS 3.1 in 1986 and stayed through WinXP Pro in 2006. I do think Microsoft needs some restructuring, streamlining and a refocus.

The funniest part is how the Zune dude hasn't got another Zune user within 100 miles to share songs with. ;)

Hey! I'm back.  You lucky people.

I like it, perfect pretentious 'Apple is so Cool!'  style.

I am still gonna buy one, I think I am in 'FanBoy mode'.  This must be what it's like to be an iBoy, ignore all the bad - focus on the newest product! hehe.

That is of course provided my passport arrives in time.  Some people might suggest I should have sorted that out before ordering dollahs and booking the flights.  But no one likes a smart arse.

I did something pretty similar over Thanksgiving...

Hey...Microsoft copying something of Apple's again...how very creative.  And what's that about being so easy to listen to others songs wirelessly?  Pretty much every review has said the Zune's "Welcome to the Social" p.o.s. is just that.

Only problem with that Zune-sharing is that... well, it's not really sharing. More like borrowing. After you have listened to the song three times, it's gone. How could you REALLY get that song on a Zune? Well, you go to this website, you give them your credit-card information and you buy the song. Kinda like iTunes. Except instead of using real cash, you are using "points".

Seems the internal-only-yet-leaked spoof video is causing quite a stir on the internets. And with that

That was good.  I don't care for Apple and doubt I'll ever buy a Mac, but I do like their commercials.  For those who bash the sharing feature of the Zune, do you honestly think that when the iPod has wifi that you'll be able to throw around songs left and right?  How much sense does that really make?

ALL YOU GUYS JUST COPY THE MAC ADS, JUST LIKE WINDOWS VISTA AND MAC OS X, GET A LIFE BESIDES COPYING THE COOLEST COMPANY AROUND, MAC!!!!!!!!!

Any chance of anything like this becoming a real commercial?

Saran, I doubt it man. It's just a spoof (not a real thing)

-cesar

Video: Apple Mac vs. PC - Zune vs. Ipod Here's a great spoof on the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials. That easy. UPDATE: Here is a weblog post concerning the source of this video. It came from Mi ...

Seattle Sketch Comedy Troupe "Train of Thought" just released thier own send up of the Zune...I thought you all may like it
