By the look of innovative design & technology, it's quite the contrary, making Windows one of the most successful products in the world.
Of course, Linux just dominates all of them >=D.
And guess what OSX is based on? NeXTSTEP, which in turn was basically Jobs' version of BSD. And BSD and Linux are both sort of variants I guess you could say of Unix. So really, your argument is moot because you contradicted yourself without knowing it.
Steve Jobs didn't get rich selling millions of people buggy products. He got rich by almost singlehandedly popularizing the PC. Apple ][, anyone?
I doubt that this Zune will ever catch the iPod. Microsoft's only caught up to Apple twice in terms of marketing/popularity: Windows and Internet Explorer. And those were both when the computing scene, as far as the general public was concerned, was fairly young. The iPod's head start is just too big IMO for it to be caught.
On design, I think Apple have Microsoft beaten by a long shot. They just have better GUIs and overall usability.
On technology, I don't recall a single month in recent history in which Microsoft didn't have to issue any security patches. Such an event would surely make the news.

Few months back I bought a new player, MPEYE. Within weeks I was having problems, and now the sound doesnt work properly and not all the songs work. Piece o' shite.

I tried Linux for the first time ever today.
Choco no likey.
My mp3 player is 20gb, I only got around 800 songs on it atm but I've only had it since Xmas. It got accidentally wiped once when my laptop died halfway through transfer but oh well, I lost like 100 tracks at the time. Oh and its not ipod, I just don't like 'em.

Yeah it holds a lot more obviously but thats the only tracks I've added since January. Its memory is a little smaller than my laptop. Just about to add around 20-30 more. I get SERIOUSLY bored of my songs though coz I take my mp3 player everywhere, even have it set to speakers for when I'm in the shower.
