Good luck Zune Team!

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

way cool...cant wait for that new software and podcasts finally.

I can't wait :)

Is it going to be a midnight launch? That'd be great, I could get up early and have it all ready by the time I leave for college.

Oh, and will the software update be delivered via Windows Update?

Oh, and any comment on this cesar?

Espiox,

Let me answer on behalf of Ceasar.  

Our official stance at MS is that we confirm nor deny any speculation, rumors, or flat out fabercations.

Not that I work for MS I was just helping out a little.

espiox - we don't comment on rumor and . . . ya what Chris said :)

Also I don't know the time of the update, but when it's live i'll be sure and post about it

Me thinks Cesar may have a late night on Monday

Then again for some reason I think the XBox team will have one of those Tuesday or Wednesday as well lol.

Good Luck Cesar, and make sure to get your coffee ready :D

Sweet. I really hope that the updated Zune software runs better, and is more user friendly. Currently, the Zune software is ridiculous. I'd much, much rather just use Windows Media Player 11 than the current Zune software, but I can't.

almost here :) hopefully the software gets released around midnight.  Can't wait for the social aspect to start shining.

Just a few more days! Cant wait. The past month has been very exciting.

Cesar

Will the new software now work with Windows xp pro 64?

Thats my only question that i would really like to get answered.

Thanks

Will there be lyrics support for songs in the new ZMP?

I so wish there were scrollable lyrics on the Zune. Makes it much more fun on occasions.

That's something that NO major PMP device has yet, and is much needed.

Even if they're a couple of cents more, I don't mind paying for real lyrics, instead of ones off of cheap spam-full internet lyric sites.

@Shane

The Xbox 360 update isn't until December now.

Even though our ratings will be changed to the new system, will the 5 star ratings be preserved? I'm sure you'll listen to your user base eventually and bring them back.

MaxisOne, the current software and driver should work under XP 64-bit as it can run 32-bit applications just like Vista 64-bit.

Does anybody knows if the software is just goint to work with the US version of Windows?. Or are you supporting other languages too?

I HAVE WRITTEN UP A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR LAUNCH:

Monday November 12th MORN

6am pacific, 9am eastern - Microsoft mvps get the go-ahead to release reviews for the new Zunes

Kriss

Short response ..

It does not .. It is not one of the supported OSes for the software.

Frankkly i cannot believe they would do something like that but thats the case.

Which leads me back to my first question: Will it be supported or not?

Will someone from the zune team please respond?

Hi Cesar!

Thanks again for the Seattle visit at Fuel Coffee. It rocked!

Is our subscription content safe, or are there going to be changes to the catalog as to what is available via subscription.

Have a good weekend!

@Espiox

Only the family timer has been mentioned for December.

Nothing definite about the fall update.

Nov 13 would be logical if it's this month though.

It is "Patch Tuesday" after all. ;-)

If you are the proud owner of a Zune these days then you should be aware that the Zune Market place will

Ya no puedo esperar mas! Quiero mi nuevo ZUNE!! Felicidades Zune team, Ustedes son los mejores!

(I can't wait! I want my new ZUNE now!, Cogratz Zune Team, you are the best!)

ps: Did I say i was happy?

I think the people at Sansa should start shaving their heads NOW

@Newton

Unfortunately MS did not take the bet :(

Is there a reason that the Account Management button int eh Zune Sw takes me to the Zune Journey site with no option to actually do anything? I need to figure out how to restore my library. Is this just broken because of all teh changes happening?

Hey Cesar, I was wondering if the 80GB Zunes are still coming out Tuesday. I've seen a lot of stores advertising the 8 and 4GB, but not the 80.

I agree with Michael, i really want scrollable lyrics too. MS needs to try and get this on Zune.

Any news on when the Zune is coming to the UK? I know so many people who want one over here !

I cant wait anymore come on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
