Zune.net Going International Soon?
A keen-eyed Zune Thoughts reader noticed something when he visited Zune.net, the official Microsoft Zune site: rather than resolving to www.zune.net like it used to do, it now resolves to www.zune.net/en-US/. The en-US is Microsoft's method of language coding indicating that it's the English USA site - and that can only mean one thing: they're inching closer to international releases of the product in localized languages. How soon are we talking here? It's hard to say, but having work with Microsoft over the years I will say that they're known more for last-minute execution rather than being months ahead of schedule - so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a summer release of the Zune in one or more markets.

Hmm, I'm relatively sure it's been doing that for quite some time...In fact, when I copied the zune.net URL from my browser to paste it into an article on my site back on November 6th, 2006, it showed as "http://www.zune.net/en-US/" (and is still embedded in the article that way).
But I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft did go international pretty soon.

I think you're spot on there. I distinctly remember zune.net resolving to zune.net/en-US since the Zune's release date.
