I would say they were disappointed at most. I like the original Zune but I felt it lacked a lot features. I dont think anyone was mad at the original Zune. I would say they were disappointed at most.

Buy one subscription and enjoy media of any format (movies / games / music) with it. I have heard rumors that instead of copying apple to bring TV shows to ZMP they plan to have a free ad based shows. They are in talks with the TV industry but we don't know how far they are, but when that happens it will be super cool.

Says J, "Today we have Xbox live for $50 a year. We have Zune Pass at $15 a month. We don't have a rationalized premium version yet. Fast forward a little bit, and you can image a menu like DirecTV. There is basic, there is enhanced, there is movie pack and NFL Sunday ticket." I think Microsoft's biggest strengths will be in converging all there separate business units until they compliment each other. You already have the XBOX working as a media center extender. I'd like to see these 3 elements (Zune, XBOX, and Media Center) work very close together to make a seamless entertainment experience. I thought this bit was pretty interesting…
