Bugs & Viruses "Judgment day has arrived for owners of 30GB (and only 30GB) Zunes. The music player inexplicably entered a worldwide coma last night, and players are completely non responsive." [Kroc: I wonder if this is anything like the bug that caused Windows 98 to crash after 49 days when the tick-count exceeded 32-bits :P]

The feeling of a bunch of Apple Fanboys getting that much smugger.

Not just Apple proponents. Anyone skeptical Microsoft's ability to run datacenters. Like servers, embedded devices are supposed to be reliable. Gotta love this:

"A Microsoft spokesperson tells Ars, "We are aware that customers with the Zune 30GB are experiencing issues with their Zune device."

Issues? Their hardware is dead due to Microsoft's carelessness and or negligence.

And why was this fiasco relegated to page 2? It is clearly page 1 news.
