Incidentally, this seems odd. (From link above.)
Windows Vista
Windows Vista is not supported at this time. Check back soon for updates.
a direct link to the xp download. sorry for not being clear
IS there a download? Their support site gives these instructions.
To install Zune software on your PC:
1. Put the Zune CD in your PC's CD-ROM drive. Zune software will start automatically.

gotta love microsoft, an unsupported browser becomes "can't detect OS"
yes, there is a download if you just want to try the software, link:

Though seemingly implausible, the screenshot below tells the story (while raising some questions at the same time).
"This operating system is currently not supported by Zune," reads an error message when trying to install Zune software on the latest versions of Microsoft's own Windows Vista operating system.
In an official Zune support document, Microsoft, which will begin selling Vista to business customers in two weeks, confirms that the system "is not supported at this time."
And for those wondering, the splash screen of three women in distress isn't our contributor's stab at a knee-slapper. It's the official installer backdrop chosen by the Redmond, Wash. folks to appear for each and every customer who installs a Zune.
"We really have the foundation here to ship more and more opportunity to enjoy entertainment experiences,'' Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer explained in an interview with Bloomberg earlier in the day.
In a Q&A session with BusinessWeek last month, Ballmer offered similar sentiments on the wireless capabilities of his company's new digital media player.
"I want to squirt you a picture of my kids. You want to squirt me back a video of your vacation. That's [an] experience," he said.

And for those wondering, the splash screen of three oriental chicks in distress isn't our contributor's stab at a knee-slapper.
People are Asian inanimate objects are oriental.
first, it's Asian, not oriental.
second, ANYTHING BUT chicks (ladies, women, girls, etc.)
third, I think only one is Asian
fourth, I think two of the three are female.
WTF?^^
My take on Zune: http://www.uccs.edu/~cbrewer/gigo_fi...3908d9-10.html
Sounds like Steve Ballmer is either a phedifile or he's pimp'in out his family
"I want to squirt you a picture of my kids"????
