Microsoft Zune NOT Compatible w/ Vista
Microsoft’s Mp3 Player the Zune is not compatible with the software giant’s new Microsoft Vista operating system.
On the official Zune website, Microsoft admits that the Mp3 player is not compatible with Windows Vista and gives no further information as to when it will introduce a fix or firmware update enabling the player to do so. The zune website asks owners to “check back soon for updates”.
Microsoft is set to launch Windows Vista aimed at business customers later on this month. Microsoft told ENN that a new “Zune Mp3 client” or a software patch will be released to make Windows Vista compatible with the new Mp3 player (the Zune). The Zune fix is dated to be released towards the ending of January 2007. This will coincide with the consumer launch of the Vista operating system.
The Zune Mp3 player is currently only available in the USA and went on sale for USD $249.99 at almost 30,000 shops across the United States on Wednesday. The digital music player comes in just one 30GB model and is available in three colors: black, white and brown.
The big difference between the Zune Mp3 player and the Apple iPod is that the Zune player is wireless. The Mp3 Player comes with a wi-fi connection built in, which allows users to share music with other Zune owners. Song tracks may be shared with up to three other Zune owners, shared zune Mp3 songs will delete themselves after three days. The Zune also features a full FM radio.
Microsoft is hoping that these new features will give it a piece of the digital music player market.

I have heard from unofficial sources that it will be. There will be an update, as there always is.
Does anyone have one just to comment on how they like it so far?
