You buy the player = they get you money! iTunes is just an additional insult.
Can't say MM is or not a clone of iTunes, but not being iTunes is a great start. MM
is a library program & supports export using playlist methodolgy. Drag & Drop is
already available wih the Creative Explorer which I use in a pinch,

2. I can't speak for the Vision W, but the Vision M I had was atrocious.
The controls were horrible, and the one thing that it had over the iPod
that I wanted - the FM radio - was so bad that it couldn't get a clear
FM signal from New York stations while actually in Manhattan.
3. and 4. don't really apply to me since, even when I ran Windows, I had
no burning desire to drag and drop MP3's to my iPod via Explorer, and
Mediamonkey just seemed like a clone of iTunes.

2. Nothing wrong with Creative Zen Vision W vs. iPod, better IMO since
ZVW has bigger screen and most certainly is not "crap".
3. It can be "managed" simply with Explorer or MediaMonkey, likely
just like iPod can be.
4. MediaMonkey is a damn good app that leaves me wanting nothing more
