Re: Zune

I just installed Vista and found out that I can't install the Zune software.
That is unbelievable given that the Zune just came out 3 weeks ago. Really
piss-poor on MS' part.

Perhaps, but since Vista is not publicly available until next month, there
is still time for Microsoft to update the Zune software.
Rumor has it that is the case.

Well I suppose no one at the company that makes Zune would have been able to
predict that Vista was launching just after their product at make a bit of
extra effort for compatability. This new OS release took the whole world by
surprise so what chance did the Zune developers have.
