First off: My sincere apologies for the delay with this.
Want to hear why? Here goes.
1) the release of 2.5 took a lot more time than I thought it would (from me personally).
2) Other priorities I had to complete at the same time - working on the next release!
3) A trip to China to meet with our development team there sucked up some of my time.
4) I had to figure out how to publish the documents - frankly, the Zune site today didn't give me any good options (it's too long for a blog post, and it has pictures!)
So, you want to see it?

Remember that my team gets to comment and shape this thing too; what I describe is my synthesis of the ideas we developed earlier this year, and it's now time to refine them. Refining them, though, means getting realistic about what we can build - so it's possible not everything I spec'ed will actually become reality.
But hey, comment away...and again, I'm sorry this has taken longer than I expected.

Yeah, it's a ton of information. And I was way more nervous posting it out there than I've ever been in a spec review at Microsoft! :-)
I'd love to hear people's feedback; this is the time when we refine the spec through other people's input.

This would be beyond baller, good idea.
Who we are now is who we've always been.
Jessica this is so cool....A lot of information but the jist is SUPER.
How about extending the mini quiz on a Social profile page...if someone wants to be your "Friend" they have to correctly answer your music questions on your Social page?? Of course this could be an option to add to your Friend requests...kinda like a club password situation.
Right now just clicking "Accept" is kinda boring....
Great work Jessica!!
ps; Going to China next month...I'll have a 1,000 year old egg in your honor
Zune is AWESOME!!...since Nov 2006 Black30GB and Pink30GB (my wifes'!!!)
