Zune Marketplace Freebie this Week: Suzanne Vega

Check out Zune Marketplace this week to get "Ludlow Street" by Suzanne Vega. You might remember her breakout song "Luka," dating back to '87. You know: "My name is Luka. I live on the second floor. . . " yes, that song.

On a semi-related note, back in college, I had a friend named Allison, and she told everyone her name was Luka, after finding out she was moving to the second floor of our dorm.

Anyways, the free song is good. You should download it.

Cesar, could you guys please start pushing some new features on the firmware? I as well as others are getting kind of worried with all of this hardware refresh talk for the holiday season; it'd be nice to know that the 'early adopters' aren't being left behind, other than getting verbal reassurance from PR. Cheers.

Seriously.

Hello everyone. This is a comment section to comment on the entry. Not a complaint forum for your thoughts/ideas/suggestions.  Let's try commenting on something other than complaints. I, for one, am tired of coming here to read people's reactions to the entry, only to find a long list of rants about Zune dislikes.  Seriously, it's enough.  If you would like to fuss, you can start your own blog. Oh, and by the way, they are working on improving the Zune. Everyday. Its their job.

MSDN's Channel8 beta looks cool.  Its a community site geared toward students and it seems they will offer downloadable content (for Zune).

@ Seriously.

What are your sources that they are working to improve the Zune, especially the "every day" comment! Because it sure as "Dante's Inferno" doesn't seem so ! It seems that they are busy partying, especially since the early adopters were assured that firmware-updates would be one of the "features" on the Zune!
