Remember that nutty Zune Guy? He could easily be considered the Zune’s claim to fame, mostly because he was crazy enough to deface his body with three Zune tattoos and made plans to legally change his name to “Microsoft Zune“—good God, the things people do for fame nowadays.
Anyway, in what could be seen as a true sign of Microsoft’s failure to make a likeable MP3 player, their precious Zune Guy has publicly defected from the Zune camp, purchasing an iPod classic, and later switching it for an iPod touch.
“It’s super thin and does some really neat stuff like tilting to go into cover flow,” Smith said. “I also like watching movies on it. I can go anywhere to get iPod accessories, that’s not the case with Zune stuff in Iowa.”
And so an embarrassing saga comes to a triumphant end. I just can’t help but wonder if Apple tattoos and a name change attempt to “Apple iPod Touch” will ensue.

So, having a nutball like this convert to an Apple product is considered a triumph for the Apple side?
Passionate followers is hardly anything new with Apple.
Just ask any long-time Windows user.
Yes, it is a victory as even the nutjobs have ditched the Zune. The intelligent people never went near it with a barge pole in the first place.
Ouch. That's gotta sting.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm trading my iPod in for a tape player.
That proves once again that the meaning of "crazy" and "moron" is different.
