Channel 10 has posted a short 5 minute video interview with one of the member's of the Zune Team, detailing what exactly Robbie Bach was talking about during the Bill Gates keynote when he announced the Zune launch in Canada in Spring 2008. The Canadian offering this spring will first include Zune players (including Zune Originals), Zune software and Zune Social, with the Zune Marketplace online store coming later this year. In the clip, Channel 10's Laura Foy finds out about the new features on Zune marketplace and how much emphasis is being placed on perfecting Zune Online as a social networking site.

View: Zune Social at CES 2008 (Silverlight Required)
I also find it interesting how all in-browser Channel 10 videos are now only available if you have Silverlight installed. Looks like my question has been partially answered.

Is this Zune news or a commentary about Silverlight?

Pretty much any new Microsoft online thing is going to be about Silverlight. They want it to do well, and it's a pretty cool technology.

The comment about Silverlight seems like editorial opinion and should be labeled that. It's not part of the news about the Zune. Other than that it's fine.

EDIT: That's fine now to me. It's separate.

At least in the US, the Zune is gaining in popularity. After christmas this year, I saw a lot of iPods still on the shelf but Zune was sold out all over town. Could have just been that Apple produced more...
