DavidB – And where do you think Ars, TechCrunch, or whoever got the story from? Everyone has sources and Mike has cited his.

Microsoft issued a statement to the media stating that they resolved the Zune Y2K9 problem. First, Microsoft didn’t actually do anything. Their stated fix was telling people to wait until the next day. Second, Microsoft still has not addressed the fact that the supposed fix did not work on all of the Zune 30 players. There are plenty of players that cannot get past the boot phase, getting locked into an endless loop despite completely draining the battery as per their instructions.

Most the affected Zune 30 players are actually out of warranty and in a true show of support for its Zune customers Microsoft has removed its support phone number from the Zune community website.

Let’s see your mistake free music player device software eh?

You bootlegged this from where? Ars? TechCrunch? Gadget Blog? Whatever. Must be nice to get paid to recycle posts from other sites!

Convenient you leave out the fact that the exact same flaw also affected music players from other companies, not JUST Microsoft. Being a hater though you would leave that out.
