It would certainly be nice ...

... if MS actually innovated the Zune PC software, which has been largely stagnant over the past couple of years. There is e.g. not much difference between the WP7 app store in the software, and WP7 app store listings you can find on the web. Also, I keep having to listen to music on iTunes first (because it has an equalizer) before I decide to buy it using the Zune PC software - if the music is available on the Zune software. The Zune PC software should be a lot more developed, and should outshine the iTunes client by a large amount. If MS is going to come up with something similar to the Kin Studio for WP7, its features should be in the Zune software first, and (the Mobile Studio software) should be seen as little more than something to hold people over, until they are able to get to their Zune software on their PCs. MS should really make it a policy to ensure that their software shine on Windows platforms (by a substantial margin), compared to other platforms - in order to drive and keep users on its own platforms.
