Microsoft has fixed at least one of the issues with the Zune digital media player: a compatibility problem with Windows Vista, its new operating system scheduled for release on Jan. 30. The patch may not be enough to turn around poor holiday sales of the software giant’s so-called iPod-killer, though. Zune’s Vista incompatibility has drawn criticism as a launch blunder on Microsoft’s part. However, it was a “tempest in a teapot,” according to Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle.
