Blew my iPod classic out of the water. I'm still mad it got stolen. Microsoft just fucked up marketing it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) MS doesnt do "cool". They have been desperate for years to try to capture it and they never have any idea what cool looks and feels like so their adverts for their shit is always so dorky and uncool. Also they never support anything long after it comes out because the only vision they have is winning sales permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 11 months ago They also like to try to shoehorn themselves into an already captured market quite often, but they don't get sales and drop it like you said. permalink fedilink source parent [–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago I’m confused, the Zune and Metro (pre Windows 8, Metro was introduced with the Zune HD and used in Windows Phone) are some of the better things Microsoft has ever produced. If you said UMPCs, Cortana, Copilot+ I would understand. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 13 points 11 months ago (8 children) I really liked the Zune AND the Nokia Lumia with Windows. honestly the Lumia was the best phone I ever had. At one point, Microsoft did make good products. The only good thing they have now is the Windows Terminal which IMHO is one of the best terminal emulators out there, honestly wish I could have it on Linux. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 11 months ago (1 child) Did your Zune also get stolen?
