It looks like the guys over at Microsoft are having a hard time reading this blog. In the past couple of days I have been writing about hacks or leaks about Microsoft software. Well this one just adds to the list. Well a guy called JJRules over at Zunerama Forums got his hand into the next update of Zune Software.
He Writes “As part of Windows Updates on my laptop today, I installed an optional update called “Driver Update for Zune USB.” It actually installed a pre-release version of the Zune 2.0 software with a version number of 2.1.0522.00. Has anyone else gotten this update? I have it running now, and so far, all it does is list music in my library. When I connect my Zune, the software sees its name and knows it’s connected but will not sync. Just curious if this is Microsoft pushing out a beta, or some kind of accident.”
He further adds that its not a complete software, it connects to the Zune but apparently does not sync. Also it does not connect to the Zune Marketplace. Well JJRules was kind enough to post some screenshots of the new Zune Software, and here they are :
Well, I must say the new UI looks very slick indeed, much better than the all black UI the previous version of the software had. I wonder when Microsoft plans to release the new Zune Software, but I think it is around the corner because the new Zune Player is out too.
