Microsoft job ads hints at Zune services in the living room

Well, what's this? A recent Zune job posting says the boys down Redmond-town are looking for someone to come up with "innovative user interfaces for delivering a rich, deep interactive media consumption experience in a living room environment." That sounds to us like integration of the Zune software team into the ConnectedTV division is starting to kick into gear -- the listing also specifically mentions on-demand audio and video content, which seem like a natural direction for ZunePass. We're not sure how any of this is going to pan out, but at least Microsoft is making moves to keep the struggling Zune platform alive -- whether or not that involves actual Zune hardware in the future is still up for debate.

And no one came up with any ideas so they are going to hire someone else to save their butts :-)

Why don't they incorporate into my Xbox 360 a little better first.

I thought Zune is dead. No?

I love my Zune, anything new for it is a step forward :-)
