Comments on: Zune is Now Dead, At Least As a Brand http://techrights.org/2011/02/16/zune-as-next-kin/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.14 By: Dr. Roy Schestowitz http://techrights.org/2011/02/16/zune-as-next-kin/comment-page-1/#comment-110594 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 22:05:11 +0000 http://techrights.org/?p=45880#comment-110594 I declared the unofficial death of Zune last year, whereupon some Zune sites linked to Techrights and Microsoft spokespeople had to step in and deny (not by saying that I was wrong, just by spinning it).

For days I was being trolled by Zune fans (apparently some do exist) in Twitter and in here.

They seem to have no real goal to focus on for the Zune, but periodically they’ll toss out press releases about it, just so the world thinks it’s still relevant. They really don’t want to declare it dead, yet.

Just this morning I found an announcement that “Microsoft Brings Zune HD Support to the Mac” – lol…I’m sure Mac people are overwhelmed with inexpressible joy at such a grand and glorious gift.

It’s bit like giving them a parrot that’s been nailed to a perch (We swear it’s not dead!)
