He mentioned the end of Sidebar as we know it, a trend which was obvious from the M1 build screenshots.
Its Tuesday September 16th, the day all Zuners have been desperately waiting for since Microsoft's announcement last week in which it was announced that they are going to release the new firmware and the updated v3 software to enhance our Zune experience.
