Microsoft is finally allowing the 80GB Zune to be directly ordered and customized from its ZuneOriginals Web site. We reported about the ZuneOriginals launch earlier this month, when Microsoft was offering orders for only the smaller Zunes 4 and 8. The laser-etched designs being offered for the Zune 80 appear to be identical to the Zune 4 and 8 designs, only bigger, and thereby, way cooler. The service costs nothing, and the shipping is free.

i just clicked on the link for this website and got the following error message "express install is not supported on windows vista by this version of the flast player."

i am nowhere near an apple fanboy, but it sounds like vista really *********** worse than i thought - MS's own website rejects it. sheesh.

You just need to update your Flash player

It seems pretty obvious you have an old version of Adobe Flash not designed for Vista. Do a simple search and you find a solution.

This is clearly not a problem of a Microsoft website rejecting Vista or a problem with Vista at all. If you put the tiniest bit of effort in, you can can update your Adobe software to be compatible with the OS you are using.

Of course, it is more fun to blame someone else.
