Regardless of whether yesterday;s Zune 2 announcement left you hopeful or underwhelmed,
Windows 7 Home Basic Key, you;ve obtained to provide Microsoft some credit for looking after its first-generation Zune buyers.Microsoft is back-porting to its first-generation Zunes all the new software features it introduced for your Zunes coming out in November.Much like Apple did with its new line of iPods … Not.David Morgenstern,
Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Student, one of my ZDNet blogging colleagues with whom I was discussing Microsoft;s attempt to take on the iPod said: “So you mean Microsoft is trying to bring a computer-software experience to a consumer-electronics device?” He thought that was a bad idea.

But might it score points by providing stellar customer support/service — something Apple has been criticized for not doing with the iPhones and new iPods?What does Microsoft need to do to show it;s able to think like a consumer-electronics company, not just a computer-software one? Are you expecting Microsoft follow its usual pattern and finally get the Zune right by the time it ships Version 3?(Disclosure, in case anyone was wondering: I am neither an iPod nor a Zune customer.)
