A Microsoft blog says a Zune patch that will make the player compatible with Windows is due out Tuesday. Microsoft’s Zune player has been battling for street cred amid nagging reports of lackluster sales and all around ineptitude in the design and launch of the new MP3 player. But Microsoft may be ready to bury one of its biggest launch blunders: Zune’s incompatibility with Vista. According to a post on zuneinsider.com, a company blog run by Cesar Menendez, Microsoft will issue a 22 MB patch for the Zune player today that will fix a host of bugs and other glitches, and make the new players compatible with Vista. The update is expected to be released at 10:00AM PT. The official Zune Web site still says that Vista support is pending. Zune users who don’t run Vista are advised to install the patch as well to obtain the useability fixes included in it, Menendez said. Unclear is whether the update will make Zunes compatible with official Vista releases, or the millions of beta versions of the OS currently running. Technology Industry
