[Pauldotcom] Zune 2K9

[Russell Butturini]

I found the tone of their whole statement acknowledging the flaw to be pretty beligerent and arrogant (but really would we expect any less?).  The thing that got me was that they acted surprised people were still using the "2006 model" Zunes, like we're going to trade up every year because they added a new color of faceplate!
