Zune and Vista!!!

Hi,
My friend just got a Zune; and didn't realize it wasn't able to work on
vista.
After a google, he found this from Paul's (.Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP,
Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder)
site,

Hope ya don't mind Paul,

good luck Zunies!!!
:-)

There are significant problems with this approach, although I can confirm it
does "work". The graphics render strangely, the software lags/locks a lot
more than it does on XP and you can tell, generally, that it wasn't designed
with Vista in mind. Syncing performance/reliability is also significantly
reduced. But for those looking for a quick and dirty way to get up and
running on Vista with a Zune, this does work.

And before the public release of Vista even. So all those who continue to
complain about what doesn't work with Vista, please remember this. Vista
support will be coming for most current Microsoft products. Just give those
product groups an opportunity.

Is that just general commentary?
