A group of many experts believe that if the Zune phone enters to market, Microsoft will take away all Zune Portable music player devices which are already being sold in the market. Anyway it Should be noted that the world software giant following the new contract with Nokia company is trying to produce its new phone and insert it into the market these days. But beside all these successes, this popular digital device some times ago caused Microsoft confronted a big problem. Microsoft which had predicted good days for the Zune set since the late 2008, in the last day of last year faced an unforeseen and unexpected problem and ruined the New Year for a million people.
As it is being said, on Christmas Eve of 2009 a million people worldwide who had Zune multimedia player, noticed that their sets did not work and were not able to play any audio or video files and their Zune became totally out of order and the problem started because the year 2008 was a leap year and therefore instead of 365 days it had 366 days.
Unfortunately, Zune internal time driver was problematic and did not know what to do when facing a year of 366 days. This caused Zune a problem when connecting the device to computer and became completely broken. It was after this incident that some sites such as like Gizmodo and Engadget faced with frequent reports of those who were announcing that at 01:12 on 31 December, their Zune player has stopped working. Microsoft Authorities in the official response to their customers expressed that this problem is temporary and with a little patience and after a day this disorder will be resolved.
However, the simultaneiy of Christmas celebrate with this problem reduced users' satisfaction with this set.
However, it should not be noted that beside this problem, Microsoft has gathered all the required facilities and the facilities they will need in the future in Zune HD and if all the news mentioned become true, Zune HD will cause a great change in the digital world.
