    "Zune software is much better on Windows than iTunes"
    That would be a matter of opinion. Personally as much as I would love to use the Zune software instead of iTunes, iTunes still is a better choice for me.
    Just the fact that in iTunes I can add cover art to my video collection where as Zune wont let me do so is enough of a reason to not go over to Zune. (try managing a collection of several hundred DVDs and countless other videos with the stupid looking thumbnails Zune generates)
    Plus the Zune HD its not impressive at all. There are no real apps for it. Try syncing up your ZuneHD with Outlook. You cant. Oddly enough you can with a iPod Touch.
    Now if they came out with a new ZuneHD 2 that had some real features I might go for that (but only after Microsoft gives us a way to customize things (once again DVD/Video Cover art..) I would maybe maybe go for a Windows Phone 7, except I do not want a phone.

    I agree.
    Why should my money go to help people who break a leg playing a sport. I don't play sports why should I have to contribute for people who are taking unnecessary risks. Sky diving, rock climbing skateboarding ect ect.
    I also don't think my tax money should go to pay for your little brats to go to school since I don't have any kids.
    I also do not own a car so my tax money should not be used to pay for roads just so you can drive your fancy horseless carriage around.
    I also don't own a gun so why should you be allowed to own one. They make our cities unsafe and people are dieing because of this BAN THEM.
    I don't go to church BAN THEM OR TAX THEM. /end sarcasm

    No one gets to decide what the money they pay in taxes goes to, so pony up just like the rest of us and stop whining. Your whining reminds me of the guy who didn't want to pay his share of the tip in Reservoir Dogs.

    Lets make this simple.
    You have the right to do what you want to do in your life as long as it does not directly violat the rights of someone else.
    You DO NOT have the right to decide what other can and cant do in their lives.

    You have the right to be offended.
    You do NOT have the right to NOT BE OFFENDED.
    if you see a show that offends you DONT WATCH IT.
    If a church offends you DONT JOIN IT.
    If SMOKING OFFENDS YOU DONT FUCKING SMOKE

    "I think the only reason Dell does this is because Windows is setup like a toll booth where you have to pay extra to get it to do anything useful or keep it running. With the Ubuntu Boxes they don't sell any add-on software because Ubuntu already has everything it needs to work."

    Or perhaps because most people use Windows
    As far as the FUD of having to pay extra to get windows to do anything usefull, I havent had to lay down 1 red cent to do what I like to do on my PC..cept of course for the cost of games.

    As for the part of Windows being so much harder to use than Ubunto... maybe for you it is but for most ofthe people I know its the reverse.
