Microsoft tugs a heart string…Remembers fallen Zune HD team member…

Yes I’ll admit it. I harp on Microsoft a lot. Though every once in a while they do something worthwhile and sincere that deserves some praise.

After the Zune HD got biopsied by the FCC, many who looked at the pictures questioned the placement of a few words inside the unit which read: “For Our Princess”. At the time seemed rather odd and I even saw some blogs speculating that it was a left field attempt to be “cool” and emulate Apple’s “Made In California” on their gear or even earlier Zunes’ “Hello From Seattle”. However, the dust has cleared and the true reason has come out. Sadly, a Zune HD team member passed during the development of the Zune HD and the entire team felt it was only right to honor her with a little note on one of millions of Zune HD’s to go out in to the world. A touching farewell and gesture on Microsoft’s part isn’t it?
