Is it a counterpunch?

C/Net had an interesting article today on Microsoft's new ZUNE player. They said: "Microsoft's Zune player is designed to be a counterpunch to the iPod, but it could deliver a sharper blow to some of the company's longtime partners."

I think C/NET may have a legitimate concern or at least it appears that way from the surface. In part, they indicated that:
It leaves one question up in the air, however: Just how much attention will now go to Microsoft's PlaysForSure program, which promotes the broad range of services and players that use its Windows Media technology?

What's your take on this?
