After all the bitchy press from journalists who were either stupid (Zune doesnt play ipod music!!!) or mad (I had to buy my own Zune - not get a freebie!) it seems the public is taking to the Zune in pretty good numbers.  Latest sales-data shows the Zune in 2nd place with 9 percent of the U.S. market, measured by unit sales, and 13 percent of the dollar volume for the week ended Nov. 18. Not such a shabby start all things considered.  We’re pretty sure Microsoft will be offering firmware upgrades thoughout the life of Zune, so expect Podcast support in the new year, although we’re pretty certain that won’t include iTunes support!

So lets take a look at some of the amusing comments from “serious” journalists:

They Say: Doesnt Play iPod songs.
Zune Groove Says: PS3 doesnt play Xbox 360 games.  Here’s a Fix: Copy iPod AAC files to CD - then burn to Zune

They Say: Doesn’t play Podcasts
Zune Groove Says: Yes it does, dumbass. Save the podcast to your PC and locate with Zune software

They Say: Crashes My PC when installing
Zune Groove Says: Installed fine on my machine. iTunes has crashed many a PC

They Say: WiFi DRM is Terrible
Zune Groove Says: Do you really think it’d be ok to allow Zuners to send their entire (30 gig) collection over to countless other people?

They Say: Amazon sales are terrible - iPod is killing Zune
Zune Groove Says: Whoever said this was an iPod killer?  Patience my young music lover!

They Say: Doesn’t do email! (the girl on Good Morning America)
Zune Groove Says: Neither does your 8-track you silly, no-clue-whatsoever girl.
