Being Part of History Feels Great: Z2K or Y2K9
Jan 1st, 2009 by Mr. Higgins
Here is a YouTube video of my experience today with my Zune 30 GB media player that I have learned to love…just not on a Y2K like day.
Aren’t those beautiful hands? Anyway…
According to many different reports out there, the Zune 30 GB version has a hardware configuration problem which made EVERY SINGLE ZUNE 30 TO FREEZE TODAY AT THE BOOT UP SCREEN. It feels great to be a part of history. Apparently is has to do with the way the hardware/software handles leap year.
Microsoft has responded by provided this information on the official Zune website as the solution to the problem. Basically, wait until tomorrow.
