Zune - No such thing as bad press?

Hey Davak, you know all those times you’ve told me “there’s no such thing as bad press?” Do you think MSFT was giddy that their Zune got some air time on CNN?

I may be a tiny bit biased, but I don’t think this press will make hoards of people race from their homes in order to buy a Zune. It was a great plug for the new and diminished Shuffle, though.

I think you are forgetting about the mind control devices Microsoft has installed in Windows…

Everybody said that the Xbox wouldn’t make it, and now it’s pretty much the defacto standard.

Mind control!

The Zune rollout has been a complete disaster.

You are completely right… this is one of the many exceptions to the rule that “any press is good press.”
