"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]

It's probably not sabatoge, It just doesn't make sense to me.
It's likely that a developer somewhere in Redmond forgot to account for a leap year in some esoteric portion of firmware code, and the system choked upon discovering a 366th day in a 365-day year.
Not a nefarious conspiracy, just poor QA, and a clusterfsck overall.
