Zune isn't compatible with...Vista?

You were definitely NOT expecting this...well then again, you probably were.

 

In a rather embarassing turn of events, it has now been confirmed that Microsoft's new "Cutting Edge" MP3 player, Zune, is not compatible with their new "Cutting Edge" operating system, Windows Vista. Users who attempt to install the Zune software suite will receive a nice "This operating system is currently not supported by Zune" message. An official Microsoft support document confirms that Vista "is not supported at this time." What utterly perfect timing considering that Microsoft will be shipping the extra-costly Business edition of Vista in 2 weeks. Looks like the cutting edge just doesn't cut it when it comes to compatability, eh?

 

On another note, journalists over at the Sydney Morning Herald point out how Zune has quite an "intense" error screen, featuring the picture of a man and two women, one of whom they've described as: "well she's either in hysterics or having an orgasm."

 

Hey, even their BSODs are becoming more sexy. Now what do you say to THAT Apple?!

 

UPDATE: Whoa wait a minute, are those two chicks or THREE chicks :blink: ? Tell us what you think!

 

UPDATE 2: It turns out Microsoft's Zune lab has already churned out an update for Zune for Vista; it just hasn't been released yet as it wouldn't make sense to release it before Vista hits shelves anyways. Expect its release within a few days after Business edition arrives on the market officially.

This is a bit off topic, but it's still MS related. You know how Microsoft is currently the "ruler" of the business world? Well think about this..

 

Say in about 50 or so years from now, you're flying on an airplane. Let's say that since this is the future, that the plane is flown by robots and that the robots are running Microsoft Windows Robot Business Edition. Now imagine you're at about 32,000 feet above the ground and the robot pilot gets a BSOD.... Would you still like Microsoft? :(

 

Again, that was off topic but I just had to say it.

I like Microsoft as much as I like Apple, the people behind OpenBSD, etc. :dev:

 

Also, I get the joke but the BSOD thing hasn't been funny for a few years. Thankfully it's phased out like the M$ thing, well, at least by most people anyway and those who still do it usually don't have much to say. :(

Yes very well illustrated

This is what The Colonels is trying to tell us...So we members here must try to stop it from happening.

I know I am the minority but I will try my very best to make sure these nonsense will never happen again.Not now or the Future..
