"Say goodbye to Zune, folks". Microsoft rebrands/renames service to 'Xbox Music'

Say goodbye to Zune, folks.

Microsoft has just announced its brand new Xbox Music service during its big E3 presentation. That brings with a library of more than 30 million tracks, which you'll be able to access across all of your Microsoft devices, including your PC, Windows 8 tablet and Windows Phone in addition to the Xbox 360 itself.

Expectedly, that all comes wrapped in a Metro-style interface, but it appears to basically be a Zune rebrand beyond that, with few other surprises to be found (at least for now).

The taste of fanboy tears is so yummy and sweet!

Seriously though, the sad end to yet another Microsoft mobile failure.

 Failure, maybe. Finally consolidating under one, non-confusing brand and using a brand that has some stand alone recognition is a win. By doing this they are finally not trying to be an ipod.  'Bout time.
 Wish it was the Zune brand. Oh well.

Gotta admit it was sad basically seeing the final nail in Zune's coffin when watching it live..
