Working for a software company, I can completely see how this error might go undiscovered. Yes, the Zune has a long and grueling test cycle - but for a device that's only been out for a little over 2 years and in development for LESS than 3 - it's kind of hard to simulate something that doesn't happen but every four years. And while it's easy to say "they should have thought of that and simply changed their clock" it's very easy to miss that.

Would you have thought about it before today? I dare say that most wouldn't.

And yes, this is a black eye the Zune doesn't need. But any rational person (read: no one who posts in blog comments) would acknowledge that this doesn't detract from the features of the device or of the Zune Pass service which has made great strides this year.

Please keep up the good fight against the iPod fans. This is a black eye the Zune doesn't need - but also one it doesn't deserve.
