Other new 'features' I havent seen mentioned yet include adverts for zune-related hardware from amazon appearing in a window at bottom of screen, and the use of network2.tv's program guide.
The missing feature that would make it a perfect fit for Fune owners is the ability to convert non-zune-playable formats into something the zune can handle automatically. Is the man who developed the earlier Mac versions still part of the team or not?
