There is a major problem with previous versions of the Zen that the rechargable battery cannot be replaced by the user or by tech support - once the battery is dead, the unit has to be replaced.
I believe the iPod had a similar issue with batteries.
I'm definitely in the market, but I'll make my purchase decision based on resolution of this critical issue.
... someone finds a similar UDP port exploit in IIS or IE (or indeed Apache). The infinite looping would kill the net, and the chances of patching would be zero (particularly in the case of IE, being an end user product).
The only reason we weren't killed this time was because a database product was exploited, not a core internet product.
