“Was he inebriated?  Do you even know anyone who owns a Zune?”

That was Steve Jobs’ reply when told by a CNBC reporter that Robbie Bach (head of Microsoft’s division in charge of Windows Mobile, Zune etc.) had told the same reporter that he was “particularly optimistic about the new Zune … that it was now a worthy alternative to Apple’s iPod.”

Maybe they should swap Steve into those ‘Mac vs. PC” ads – instead of having the (supposedly) cool, laid-back Mac guy. They could freshen it up a bit – and have Steve just get in there and savage Vista, Zune, Amazon Kindles, early adopters of iPhone and the iPod Touch, and even the poor old PC bloke …
