Is someone else getting this in Microsoft Update? I saw this on one of my systems which doesn't have Zune installed.



IIRC this is the first time they have pushed Zune as an optional "update". On one hand I don't mind because I like using Zune but on the other this smells like the same tactic that apple used to push Safari. The difference being Safari was selected by default and here Zune is not.
My MS update settings is all Microsoft software, which might be one of the factors. I had installed Zune on this particular PC but removed it aftre it clashed with WMP playlists (may be it's reading some leftover registry settings?).

Tried to update my system, but no zune update was available. It might be because I'm using enterprise edition though.

Cool I think Zune player is great for the UI. I hope MS fuses WMP and Zune (The Function of WMP with a UI like Zune) in Windows 8 for WMP13/14.

Zune 4.2 is the update that adds Windows Phone 7 compatibility by the way. Also, last year when 4.0 came out it was offered under optional updates.

That's not happening here in the UK.

right, but it didnot show up in last month (for older Zune version 4.1 or whatever)?

Pretty sure there was no 4.1 release.

I went to check if the same thing would happen on my end, before I remembered that I had already updated to 4.2... .

No Microsoft it's called Microsoft "Update" you are not meant to try and shunt your new products at me.

You mean you forgot when they did it with .NET? How about Silverlight?

What, short attention span?
