But I have noticed that Zune users are more passionate about there Zunes. A lot of people choose Zune because they hate Itunes and maybe want to shwo you there hatred towards it. Like maybe if I was listening to a band and someoen came up to me and was like "Is that Creed you're listening to?" I'd respond with something like "Hell no, they suck."

The following sounds like a threat to me.

When I have said nothing demeaning about Zunes to anyone. I just thought it was KIND of funny that Loathsome SEEMED so defensive.

But strictly speaking from a neutral perspective, I think people just get annoyed because iPOD's brand name has become a common noun.
It's the same thing with Google...
When someone suggests you search for something on the internet, they say "Google it"... Meanwhile, there are plenty of other search engines out there and a lot of people use them. But the success of Google, and iPOD respectively, has made these brands/company names synonymous with common terms.
I can't say whether it's jealousy that fuels anger about this, but I'm sure there's a certain amount of brand-loyalty purism behind the pride one holds for his/her investments.
It's not a bad thing, really. I guess Zune purchasers are just proud of their MP3 player and don't want it to be confused with something they don't actually like.

Freebase very nice inputs as usual. I too wanted to remain neutral throughout this, but somehow I became the bad guy along the way.
