I think it may be about to freeze over. I think Apple is becoming the new MS, and MS is becoming Apple.

MS just released the Zune 2 and Zune flash. The Zune 2 has a slightly larger screen, and twice the HD space. They also updated the software so you can do lots more on the Zune 1. Everyone should read this.

You gotta read the comments. I don't think I have ever heard so many nice things said about MS.

Now, think what Apple has done with the Iwhathaveyou lately. Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Every large company needs the occasional competitive butt whupping or near-catastrophic business disaster to regain its humility. Microsoft has had a couple of those, lately, not least of which is Vista.

The article says all of the new features will be available to the old version. That is very uncharacteristic for Microsoft. They could just be acting like nice guys for the PR value, but does that really matter?
