I think the blame is being placed incorrectly.  It seems that
the code in question was part of a library licensed/purchased
by MS to develop the Zune?  That library functionality didn't
have enough unit tests to test for correct functionality.  I
don't see any reason to believe that MS should conduct
additional unit tests on a purchased library.  This is poor
code QA from the original developer, not MS.
