No, it's not Zune for Mac, but it does get the job done: we've been testing it out over the last few days, so read on for our impressions."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1287622272.usr1.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>As I suspected, 99% of the headlines out there over the past week the were proclaiming that the <em>"Zune desktop software is coming to OS X"</em> are flat-out wrong. It's amazing how people twist and conflate pieces of information. Anyway, if you're an OS X user and you want a simple way to get music, photos, and videos onto your Windows Phone 7 - the reviewer doesn't say whether it also works with the Zune...I'd like to think it does given the platform similarities, but I can't say for sure. The beta comes out October 24th, at which point I'll take it for a spin myself and see what works and what doesn't. What I don't understand is why Microsoft is being so coy about this - it's a pretty significant move!</p>
