Win7 includes Zune software for default???

No it doesn't what they are showing is the new windows media center. They included the software in vista but it is now better in 7. You still have to download zune but they have optimized it for 7

Hey, what the best thing to do to your device (120) when upgrading a machine from Vista to Win 7. All my files are on a shared location, not worried about that. But if i resync my device will i have duplicate files? Also, it looks like after reinstalling Zune 4.0 in my fresh Win 7 box it forgot all my podcast descriptions. HELP!

hey is there any way to get the background image of quick play to display in the collection. If not this would be a feature i would LOVE!!!!

You guys got to wake up. The Zune has gone from number 4 to 138 at Amazon and most of the retail displays look cheap in every store, there is no advertising anywhere and no app store. If you are going to become just a software solution let us know, so we do not waste our money in a device that is going to be obsolete in a couple of months. Christmas is coming and little interest in the market for your device. Many teens do not even know that the Zune has a touch device. Wake up PEOPLE!!!!

Does anyony know if the TV recorder via media center 7 will all for the videos show up in the Zune software for sync to the device.

@Poloboy03:

No, TV recorded in Media Center will not sync to the device.

Awesome, now if only we could get the WHOLE Zune Marketplace onto WMC, then we have a much better digital media solution from Microsoft.

Keep up the good work. It would help too if Microsoft could better publicize the Zune HD around the country.

Count this as a vote for upgrading the audio podcast to a video podcast.  There will be a lot of additional possibilities when we can watch a video podcast on the Zune HD.

Yeah,i have to agree with Harry. I'm kinda feeling that i should have not got a ZuneHD. The excitement is over to me. We have no news about updates or anything. The problem is that microsoft is to secretive and slow to get anything done. Plus everything is about windows 7 now.
