Microsoft exec says Zune software coming to the Mac

Zune.net has worked on Mac with Silverlight for ages.

Given that WP7 doesn't support email, contact, or calendar sync with your computer even on windows, I'm guessing this is just for firmware updates and maybe Zune downloadable content?

Don't get too excited. Zune on PC makes very heavy use of WPF, which would be epic to port.

Windows Phone 7 supports sync with the cloud for all of these. Having to plug your device in for anything other than transfer of large files (like music and video) or charging is an aberration.

I thought I remember reading that it doesn't use WPF at all, but uses the same internal-only framework (Iris?) as Media Center?
