The article discusses Microsoft Corp.'s launching of a marketing blitz for its upcoming Zune music player that pushes the social side of music. Zune, which offers users the ability to share their music wirelessly with others, doesn't officially hit the market until the week of November 12th in 2006, but already many of the online and offline creative marketing executions, videos, concepts and footage under the tagline "Welcome to the social" have made their way onto the web.
