The Zune software is perfectly fine, and is actually a direct clone of WMP11. Everything down to the layout and the options in the settings boxes are the exact same.

However, with this new update will come a new Marketplace software. They've apparently redone it from the ground up to accomodate the new videos and podcasts that they are adding. Should be pretty awesome, I can't wait until they show more of it.

I'm glad to hear it's fine. I never did understand, however, exactly WHY they didn't just use WMP11 instead of cloning it and forcing everyone to use a 2nd, redundant program. *shrug*

I don't really know anything, but my guess would be because of the Zune marketplace.... WMP11 already has Urge built into it.

Isn't Urge shutting down?

hmm, well the view is decently smaller than the zune 80/classic. and 16 gigs + a 2gig microsd card is probably enough storage for me, but 80 gigs is a lot, and it would be nice to be able to just throw a bunch of movies on there and leave em

I guess I have to wait until I can see them both in person. I wish I didn't have to since the view should be out before the zune, but I guess I can wait a few weeks :/

The View is also SDHC compatible, which means up to 8GB MicroSDHC cards... 24GB! Very tempting.

Theoretical max for SDHC is 2048Gb! w00t!
