As predicted by many iPod zealots, the much heralded launch of Microsoft's Zune music player has been a flop - they're moving about as fast as an elephant with arthritis.

The article does indeed raise some important defects in Microsoft's strategy. The good news for Microsoft is that most of them can be fixed. The bad news is that one key problem cannot.
