Zunes Stop All over the World

Yesterday Zune 30GB owners from all over reported that their zunes stopped working. There is now a fix but it was a time issue in the code of the Zune. Since it was a leap year they all stopped working. The fix is to drain the battery and wait until today at noon GMT. It should start working again. I’m sure if you have a Zune 30GB that you already know about this but this is something that shouldn’t happen. Especially when the fix is to wait for an entire day. I sure hope Microsoft does something nice for the Zune 30GB owners. They are already running a uphill battle against the iPod the last thing you want is to piss the people off that actually bought your MP3 player.
