iPod Zunes not even released and already crashing!

I think this story should more about the disturbing picture rather than the Zune crashing.
they're completely out of notion. what they said official release date is November 14th. well, it looks like BestBuy employees aren't care about it. they just want to sell it anyway with no explanation. like it won't be working until next tuesday. that's sad. but who care? a big problem is that if ipod is error, it's relatively easy to fix. but zune? it would be very complicated just like windows XP or Vista. whatever. MS expects over 2 millions selling? I don't know 
Some Target stores have display models
A local Target had a working model on display Friday. The Zune feels cheap. The mock scroll button looks like it would scroll but doesn't. You have to press it to navigate. Really clumsy if you're used to an iPod. I honestly can't imagine many people switching to a Zune from an iPod. There's just no comparision.
Also, packaging wise... kinda makes sense to package the brown in a plastic baggy ... when you really think about it.

the picture makes really sense when zune gets error. as you know, it's social spread as MS says. so when it crashes, another zune, which on wifi, has to be freaking, too. I just wonder there is another screen wallpaper when the same thing happen? I want to see.

I don't get this post. What are you talking about? Another zune crashes...social spread...what the...?
I get the picture now. Seriosuly, I think I understand it. Two girls are kissing and the third girl is grossed out. It all makes sense now!
EDIT:
Did the error kill the girl? And why does the instalation screen have two girls making out?
oooh! this will be a definate success, i can imagine this easily being the next ipod beater, someone will make a house out of all these bricks causing them to purchase about 534534235 giving them a huge market share.

and halloween isnt for another year!
bill gates is getting a head start
dumb.... it's joke! as you see picture, there isn't only one girl over there, right? so just one girl is painful? other are also suffering, too. that's why I mentioned social communication as MS says. intallation error is satired by picture which is funny anyway. if you still don't get it, I doubt the level of your intelligence.
But that wasn't on Engadget or maybe it was, I don't know. Looked like someone was doing it on their sony vaio.
I bet she's a Cylon, and that's why the other two won't make out with her.
She does look like Grace Park a lot.
A picture is worth...
It is! It just gets funnier and funnier the more I see it. I'm laughing so hard I'm shedding a tear, and I'm at work!
A picture TRULY is worth a thousand words. Thanks for the giggle, M$!
I just think we needed that picture to be displayed again, it's an instant classic. Just what IS happening to that poor girl?!
It's actually quite disturbing the more you look at it.

Is it me or is the woman in the "Installation Error" screen crying?
Has is just dawned on her that she should have bought an iPod?
EDIT:
Maybe its the smell released from the ZipLoc bag that contains an electronic turd that crashes.
EDIT: Nice boob though!
Nice boob though!
I agree-very nice!
Anyway, the Zune looks literally massive. And brown. And ugly. And a cheap ripoff from an iPod (although its an insult to compare the iPod to the Zune-even putting them is the same sentence is a crime!).
sushi, thats an interesting article but I can't help but feel the last paragraph is 'tacked-on'.
Its shameful that one of the biggest corpotations in the world have to copy a much smaller corporation, and even then they don't sell as well. I may be typing this on my PC (my MacBook's power adapter cord has frayed, exposing the wires in the cable) but I'm sick of XP already! *Installs Flyakite*
While the installation error message is clearly a bad sign for M$, you have to admit that image is hilarious -- whether it was intentional or not.
Just you wait -- this image is going to be circulated all over the net, and the Asian girl who looks hurt is going to become a minor celebrity.

Yeah, I get the same feeling. Not only does it feel "tacked-on", but it isn't really a conclusion paragraph, either. It leaves me wondering if there was more to the article that was not published...
Either way, I am much looking forward to Zune going down like the Hindenburg.
