In that first paragraph it sounds more like you are talking about yourself, you can take a subject just about anywhere to keep away from facts.
Toshiba built and sold a player called the gigabeat. This player froze up on jan 1 just like the zune...because the zune is a gigabeat. You went after only MS because you can't help yourself, it's all reflex at this point. I wrote an email saying MS should take full credit for the bug in their zune branded player, I just wanted to see if you were capable of being fair minded and would go after Toshiba for the same bug in their player. Of course you couldn't bring yourself out against Toshiba, too blinded by your MS hatred to see anything else. I can't even calculate the number of times you've taken a subject that had zero to do with MS and turned it into one of your pedantic diatribes, forcing the user who orginated the thread to beg please, please I just want my question answered. To call Jeff out on this is to live in an alternate reality...in your reality where you believe your opinions are fact, and everyone else is just blather. The entire zune thread you started created a whole new caricature of yourself, perhaps this was your new years resolution, to hate MS even more then before. Who'd have thought you could?
