My favorite bit was they fixed Zune support
"In celebration of Marvel Studio’s Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, we temporarily re-launched Zune.net last month. We also took the opportunity to fix an issue that was causing some challenges in getting the original Zune drivers to install in Windows 11 with this build in the Canary Channel. So now it should be easier to use your (totally unsupported and still discontinued) Zune on Windows 11."
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoI didn't get the point of using a Zune in the latest Guardians movie. Why the product placement for a product that's long discontinued? Microfot won't make any money if people go on ebay and buy a used Zune out of nostalgia. Or it wasn't a product placement after all?
- dudeinhawaii 3y agoIt wasn't a product placement any more than a Sony Walkman was a product placement... It was a joke, like saying, "You're finally with the times. Drop your tape deck, here's a Zune!" It wouldn't have landed the same way with an iPod.
- nwah1 3y agoIt is a joke.
- coldtea 3y ago>Why the product placement for a product that's long discontinued? Not everything is a "product placement". In this case it was a nostalgic, offbeat item, to funnily convey those things about the character that would use one, like the Walkman and music choice was in the first movie.
- slenk 3y agoWait...will I actually be able to plug my ancient Zune back in? I am pretty sure I have the cable yet. Just hard to tell what's sarcasm on the internet now.
- coldtea 3y ago>(totally unsupported and still discontinued) Zune So much for the "iPod killer". And then for the Windows Phone "iPhone killer" that replaced it. The tech press is so predictably wrong, with BS clickbait headlines.
