The geeks and their small market share doesn't matter. Mainstream consumers matter, that's why iPods are so successful. OGG and FLAC support are great and all but Joe Schmoe doesn't know what they are and would just be confused with all those acroynms on the box. All it needs is a big sticker saying "ITUNES COMPATIBLE" or in this case the fact that it can import your existing ITUNES songs.
I've been holding off on getting an iPod for awhile now and would love to see if MS's offereing has what it takes to interest my pocketbook
