They lost about 60% of market share in only one year. I doubt that many of you ever heard of Shaffer Beer. When Budwiser and Miller started to make a high quality beer, Shaffer opted to drastically reduce the quality of their beer to maximize proffits. The beer market never saw such a king before or since. In the 60s Shaffer Beer had over 60% of the US beer market. I expect we will start to see a 'Shaffer Beer' type of demize this year. I don't think that is going to work for ipods any more. Do they even test that thing? Or they're arrogant enough to think that the product will be replaced with a "better" version before the bug surfaces? Probably works for iPods, people buy the new ones all the times :) The bug was short lived but memorible for those that got caught. Unlike the ipod, Zunes do not have a fail-safe recovery system. My favorite bug was the one that if you played high bit rate mp3s the Zune died. To make it worse they are more arrogant than ever. They have gotten fat, lazy and stupid beyond belief. Tripplite, not deliberately, you give them too much credit.
