Y2K9 bug.

They, ie, the "thousands of people" who own a Zune (compared to the millions of people who own an iPod) are calling it "Z2K9", because ho ho ho "Zune" begins with a "Z"!!! Oh there are such merry lols to be had on the Zune forums!

ITT, snoball somehow mocks other people for making shit puns.

Well there's shit puns and shit puns - substituting a "Z" for the "Y" in "Y2K9" is way below someone like, I don't know, saying "Hey, don't worry, Microsoft will get around to fixing the problem... Zune-er or later!!!"
― snoball, Thursday, 1 January 2009 22:31 (sixteen years ago)
Don't be so zuneical about this problem. I'm sure MS will have a fix!
― µ^µ (libcrypt), Friday, 2 January 2009 02:40 (sixteen years ago)
I think they may try and ignore the problem, seeing as it only happens once in a blue Zune...
― snoball, Friday, 2 January 2009 10:39 (sixteen years ago)
Microsoft "jumped on the problem immediately and isolated the issue", shooting it several times in the head.
