Thank G_d Micro$oft does not build cars. :) Bosses everywhere would swiftly tire of the “sorry I’m late - the damn car just kept rebooting every time I tried to leave the driveway...” from employees.

Leave it to Bill Gates to make end users bend over and squeal at the most unexpected times. And no, I don't own a Mac.

if it flashes such a message, it’s got to be malware. yes, of course, like “Bush” and global warming, that’s Gates’ fault.

From Engadget.com:

“..Microsoft has finally acknowledged their boo-boo and explains it thusly: There is a bug in the internal clock driver causing the device to choke on the last day of a leap year...”

So I suppose we just wait until tomorrow for it to fix itself.

And seriously, there is NO Apple fan that could possible make a snide remark about this seeing all of the drama they have to go through with Jobs almost on a daily basis.

No Windows application has ever before violated Microsoft’s own UI standards as blatently as Zune software. It is a true crime against all that is good and reasonable.

I am working on the Y10K problem, where we get 5 digits in the year.
Send $1 to me and I will make sure your computer will handle the date changeover. Promise, I will give you your money back if it doesn’t work.

I read the story at Yahoo! News and thought for sure it was some sort of hoax, so I turned on my 30 GB Zune at 10:30 p.m. (Pacific time) and it froze.

I love my Zune. I will never buy anything from Apple - Go ahead and flame away Mac Addicts.

The fix is in...

I am letting my Zune’s battery drain rather than cracking it open (voiding the warranty) to temorarily disconnect the battery jack.

A disgruntled software nerd left a time bomb in the software.
