ASK MICROSOFT!!

ACE · 01-08-2008, 06:05 PM

Zuneboards has been given an opportunity to ask questions to the insider himself - Cesar Menendez!! So what are some questions you want answers to?

Please keep in mind, he's really not at liberty to discuss future information (he says there's really nothing to know right now that hasn't already been disclosed at CES 2008).

So are there any pressing questions you want answered? How, what where, why?

Let me know soon!

Dizzy · 01-08-2008, 06:07 PM

Will he give me a free Zune (preferably 80) for saving so many from the trash bin?

Gregory · 01-08-2008, 06:20 PM

How were you approached to become a part of the zune product team? When was development on the zune started?

Wootmasta · 01-08-2008, 06:25 PM

I'll try to think of some... they might be crossing the line you decide.

Where do you think users are going to access movies when Microsoft has yet to add them to the marketplace?

Will the deals made with television and hollywood production companys made for the xbox be carried over to the zune?

AVI is a nice format for the xbox to have; don't you think so? (pause so he can anwser maybe he will saysomething...)

The zune card is great! Where there any troubles you had developing the interface or the website. (who knows... might be interesting)

Why not let the other countries access the zune card website and experince the market place even though the zune is not available in their country?

take some use none i care none

What is the Zune working environment like? Do you have your own comfortable room? Nice cafeterias? Free vending machines? Is the Zune headquarter large?

"Yes, not that I have any relevance to that"

Hmm, what were the considerations for dropping the streaming radio functionality from the Zune? (I still cry at night over that)

Dizzy · 01-08-2008, 06:55 PM

Something about them going international:

Do you see any backlogs now that you plan on going international? I recall you having issues meeting the Zune 80's demand in the states

ACE · 01-08-2008, 07:09 PM

Nice guys! Keep 'em coming!

Do you engage in Office pranks? Read any Dilbert by Scott Adams? Has some of those episodes in Dilbert struck home as in being something close to your reality? Which one?

(I am always interested in knowing what kind of humor exists in a person's daily grind.)

CookingDoggy · 01-08-2008, 10:18 PM

Is the option to search for CD track information going to be coming back anytime soon?

BrianLikesZune · 01-09-2008, 08:39 AM

How is the zune development team working to improve the software more? More functionality in the editing of meta-tags, organizing video, and overall organization of your media?

ACE · 01-09-2008, 03:11 PM

Thanks guys.

Good input - look for the answers soon
