When Windows 7 was available to use (as a MSDN subscriber), I installed the Ultimate edition. Things were slow to get fully running (hardware), but eventually people updated drivers and I’m a happy camper.
About a month ago my Zune (30GB) stopped working. If I looked at hardware, it was there, but not working properly. So I uninstall, clean the registry, reboot, install new software, and go through the detect sequence. I’ve done this dozens of times, hoping that something kicks in and the hardware (made by Microsoft) is recognized by Windows 7 (made by Microsoft).
But no. I get this every time.
So. Microsoft, want to fix your stupid software drivers?
Here’s the funny part. We’ve tried this on two laptops, a desktop and a netbook. Everything but the Netbook gave us the same install error. Right now I’m running three Zune loads (different devices) from my Netbook. The cheapest device of them all.
Microsoft Fail!
PS: If I sound pissed it is because I am.
