UnknowingFool writes "As a followup to the Zune New Year's Eve meltdown, Microsoft has issued a workaround for what some users have correctly guessed was bug caused by a leap year: Basically let the Zune drain the batteries and restart it after noon on January 1, 2009. Many sites are reporting that Microsoft has "fixed" the issue, but technically all Microsoft has done is to ask users to wait out the conditions which caused the bug. Until a software patch comes out, Zunes will suffer the same problem again in four years."
