Should I write a commment? What do you think? I read so many negative comments today. Maybe I shouldn't write about this. Om, oh, Om, … you such a cool guy by not opening the box! And thanks for remembering that Windows XP is so uncool.

Your poll doesn't seem to work when ActiveX is disabled. Not sure how much you care, but if you think usability is important, consider making it depend on Javascript only - or even plain (X)HTML.

Here’s what critics are missing about Zune…

View my Zune Flickr set (new window) Like some (most?) of you, I’ve been reading how much the Zune sucks everywhere (Infoworld). Note the first reader and Zune customer comment following that Infoworld story which makes the absurd comparison to …

After your initial post, I didn't bother to read any of the GigaOM properties for a week. Why bother, when you would rather send me off to read other people's reviews.

The fact that you updated this post and decided to do what your readers have been ~~bitching~~ asking you to do, brings back some value to your blog. Not as much as you lost, but every little bit will help you.

I'd like to read a review by you. And if you could be one of the only people to tell me how it actually sounds, that would be great.

The dealbreaker for me is the vig. A percentage of every sale goes to Universal Music Group, whose CEO believes that anyone who downloads any song off the Internet is stealing money out of his pocket. UMG believes lawsuits against music lovers are a good thing for its business. I don't want to give a backward-thinking organization like this one penny of my money.

Why haven't the boys at Downhill Battle jumped on that, anyway?

Om, it doesn't matter who else reviewed it. We are here reading YOUR blog so YOU are the voice we obviously trust. Review it or don't mention it at all.

GigaOM, please don't become a prima donna. You're still cool in my eyes. Review it as objectively as possible. Or send it back. Next time you won't get a package from Microsoft. What a useless, smug, self-serving post, otherwise..

I love it! Finally someone that shows what happens when they don't have parents always saying, "If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?"

What do you even contribute by posts like that except to drive traffic to your… oh damn, you got me, you could care less about the Zune either way, you just want to drive traffic and clicks so people can see all the ads.

Hey Om Malik, I just heard all the bloggers saying they were going to jump off a bridge…
