Y2K Bug Hits, Nine Years Later

The Y2K bug has finally hit!!! But it’s only limited to the Microsoft Zune.

I sold my iPhone this weekend and in turn bought an 80GB model of the Zune so I’m not affected by the problem — but get this, everyone who has a first-generation 30GB Zune has seen it reset automatically and is only seeing it boot up with the Zune logo and a stuck progress bar.

Microsoft has even acknowledged there is a problem, and says they are working hard to correct it. For now, the DIY solution is to open the case, pull the battery and hard drive plugs and that will reset the Zune’s internal clock so it will work temporarily.

Geez, get on it already, Redmond. Your iPod killer has committed suicide!
