Vista Patch Coming Later Today

It has been a nagging part about using Vista a bit earlier than the rest of the world. Not being compatible with the Zune. But today, Cesar Menendez of Zune Insider have stated that Microsoft will be coming out with a 22 megabyte patch that will clear such problems.
But to point out, this patch will not only be addressing Vista users. After the initial launch back in the 14th, the Zune software have come under much criticism after not installing properly on many computers. Cesar recommends that this will actually work as fix for this problem along with many other problems Zuners have been dealing with.
Great stuff Microsoft! A 1.2 firmware update and a patch!

Hi All,
I am in RSA, and my wife orderd me Zune, I am running the RTM of Vista and the Freaken Zune Site tells me I have a incompatible OS, So when my Zune arrives wil I actually be able to use it ?
I am concerned, when will the zune be International ? Will it ever be ?
just my thoughts, I still can’t to get mind (3 days to go) just hope I can actually use it.
Just think is is sortof dumb if the Zune only support N-America, wouldn’t called it the iPod Killer ..

Do you have the Zune software installed? Yesterday’s update now makes Zune compatible with Windows Vista. Yes, you will be able to use it just like the Windows XP SP2 users as of.
I’ve contacted various people working at Microsoft the Zune will be going international sometime next year. Most likely early next year.
You actually will be able to use your Zune, but your free Zune Pass will not work since your IP is not US based.
