[lbo-talk] Microsoft producing Joy Division line of Zune mp3 players

[B.]

Not hard to imagine Bill Gates sitting secluded in the
shadowy depths of his own Xanadu, all Charles Foster
Kane-like, while the gloomy sounds of suicide victim
Ian Curtis echo throughout his barren, marble
hallways. Maybe Gtes prefers the JD song "They Walked
in Line," about Nazi holocaust perpetrators? "All
dressed in uniforms so fine, / They drank and killed
to pass the time, / Wearing the shame of all their
crimes, / With measured steps, they walked in line."

I could imagine Apple *possibly* going this route. But
Microsoft is just balls-out odd.

I have never seen anyone using a Zune.
