Y2K revisited ?

Well, something similar, as several users realised they could not use their 30 GB Zune on New Year’s Eve. Apparently, there was a malfunction in the code due to which the internal clock could not handle the last day of 2008, a leap year which had 366 instead of 365 days.

This problem only affected the 30 GB Zune and other models did not face any problems.

Microsoft advised Zune users to let the battery drain out completely and connect only after noon GMT on January 01, 2009.

Those with a geeky bent of mind can view the source code (Drill down to line # 249).
