Sounds retarded. Just another proof of how Microsoft's products are horribly convulsed, have performance issues and generally have just horrible implementation and are buggy as hell. Not to mention they love to use complicated and deprecated technologies such as COM.
This is one of the reasons why Windows needs to change, and why I'm rooting for the new Metro API to take root and become the standard for the future.And ofcourse, Zune then claimed ownership of all my MP3 and WAV files, without ever asking me. To top it off it is a completely sloppy, slow and disfunctional piece of software, the only program i can think of that is equally disappointing is iTunes.
I'm sure there's alot of skilled programmers/developers at Microsoft, but there must be an equal amount of ........ty and clueless managers that simply have no idea what it is the users are looking for, so much bloat. Simply, staggering amounts of uselessness.
(The UI sucks IMO; but the API itself is a huge leap of bounds from the old C API.)
