Zune, Metro, Copilot+

If you know, you know.

I’m confused, the Zune and Metro (pre Windows 8, Metro was introduced with the Zune HD and used in Windows Phone) are some of the better things Microsoft has ever produced.

If you said UMPCs, Cortana, Copilot+ I would understand.

The Zune was amazing. Blew my iPod classic out of the water. I'm still mad it got stolen.

Microsoft just fucked up marketing it.

I really liked the Zune AND the Nokia Lumia with Windows. honestly the Lumia was the best phone I ever had.

At one point, Microsoft did make good products. The only good thing they have now is the Windows Terminal which IMHO is one of the best terminal emulators out there, honestly wish I could have it on Linux.

Did your Zune also get stolen? Pretty much everyone I've talked to who had one had it stolen (myself included).

hah now that you mention it, yes my Zune did get stolen.

I want it for Linux too, but I use Tabby as it is the closest thing I have found to it.

Métro, boulot, dodot?

The zune was truly awesome! Its only weakness was that Microsoft actually didn't really believe on it (same with the Kin)

People give Balmer a ton of shit but most of MS's cool stuff came out during his time.
