Microsoft Kills Off Zune Music Service

Advertisements

The news came out yesterday via Network World that Microsoft has put the final nail in the coffin of the Zune Music Service. For those of you who have no clue what I am talking about, Microsoft tried (and failed) to challenge the iPod by coming out with a device called the Zune and a music service that was similar to iTunes to support it. It crashed and burned in spectacular fashion and was finally killed off in 2011. But not before a high profile failure of every Zune device on the planet back in 2008. For the few people who actually care about the Zune Music Service, it will be folded into Groove Music. Though it should be noted that if you actually bought music off this service, it may not play. Charming.

One question, does anyone actually still use a Zune?
