As surprising as it may sounds, ABIResearch's latest poll says 58% of current iPod users said they were "somewhat likely" or "extremely likely" to pick a Zune player over any other player? WTF? We tried to take a look at the actual survey results, but realized they cost $3,000. Yeah, no, that's ok. We'll pass.

The survey also says that the WiFi peer to peer sharing doesn't seem to be a big draw, and that it's critical that Microsoft differentiates itself in some way (apparently not in WiFi sharing). Nevertheless, it's hard to believe that 58% of users would say they'd pick the Zune over the iPod. And without the actual survey results, we can't say anything for sure.

I am an iPod user.... and I dont want a Zune!

Microsoft Raped the computer industry. And for that I hate them.

I myself am going to boycott every Microsoft product I can.

Lol! I would do that too; but Vista is pretty cool and will play all the latest PC games, with DX 10... and then there is what will be industry standard Office 2007, so it will  e pretty hard to boycott Microsoft!

I will be sure to get OSX Leopard 10.5 too, and I will always keep my iPod... I somehow think the Zune will be in that Zen/Sony Walkman etc class... ass iPod will probably, and hopefully always be in a class of its own... more than one step ahead!

From what I have read regarding the Zune it well, just sucks. There isn't a chance in hell I would do a swap or otherwise.
