Microsoft lacks taste. Zune lacks taste. Microsoft makes third-rate products. Zune will be a third-rate product. Except for dominating the entire world with their lousy OS, Microsoft has yet to produce any product that has created anywhere near the cultural impact that the ipod has. That's not a lack of money, desire or technology on Microsoft's part: It is a total lack of taste and style. You can't buy that.
