Zune Players
Zune players are having problems with the New Year (msnbc.msn.com)

As described by a friend, it seems that 30GB Microsoft Zune digital media players are experiencing a Y2009 problem.  Starting at the International Date Line, the players have started locking up as the year changes.  The Y2K problems that were feared nine years ago seem to finally be hitting; for Microsoft anyway.

The Zune Forum has had over 2,400 replies to the original post so far.  Microsoft is clamoring to fix the issue following the deluge of customer complaints.  On their Zune support site, Microsoft posted:

 

Customers using the Zune 30 might experience problems starting their players. We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it. The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!
