It's about a woman that wants to be a mom. However, she was diagnosed with a disease that does allow her to give birth. I hope this does not auotmatically make you move on to the next person. Barbara is a wonderful and caring person. She is invovled heavily with the church and is a person that doesn't stop giving. She always puts other's before herself. She feels guilty if she buys herself something nice. Please take her into consideration. Each Mother's Day she gets upset because she can't have kids and she isn't a Mother. I would just like to put a smile on her face. If she could have kids she would be a great mother. My story it’s about a mom. It’s about a woman that wants to be a mom.

I bet... not only do you offload a piece of junk taking up room in your office but each one shipped counts towards the 1M goal! Everybody wins... except consumers and shareholders. I hope microsoft learns from this tragedy which is Zune and actually brings something innovative to the market that DOES re-invent this marketplace which is becoming a bit stale.

You are not only asking us to hold (our) mothers out for ridicule,--your idea of entertainment. HA! Then you want a picture as well! Let us see a picture of YOUR Geeky mother, who raised the likes of you, with so much sensitivity. As my mother died less than a year ago, I am personally very insulted!

I bet they make sure they "ship" the 1 millionth Zune by then straight to the trash heap, just to claim...you guessed it 1 million sold. They don't care where they go, just as long as they "ship" the number, since that's what they go by, not actual sales. Microsoft is so desparate to get to that 1 million mark by June?

Microsoft deserves as much for creating such an un-innovative loss leader whose only right to existence is a pile of cash they have in reserves. They could have done so much, but chose to take a very safe route and hence, are paying for it now (as are the shareholders). Jon ps: now I know their strategy for getting to 1M Zunes in the marketplace... give them away - which so far doesn't seem to be producing any better results!
