Zune Is Officially Being Killed on November 15th

 
It was Microsoft’s answer to the iPod and its thriving iTunes ecosystem, but never gained traction and was ultimately marginalized by the iPhone.  Now, eight years after its splashy launch, the Zune is quietly being buried.  Effective November 15th, Zune’s will no longer be manufactured, and all Zune music services shuttered.   That includes DRM-protected content, which, according to Microsoft, ‘may not play’ in the future.
