It was only recently that the Zune PC Software became available in German and Italian, although the Software wasn’t promoted on the German, nor on the Italian version of Zune.net. This was a strange fact, so it looked like there was something else, something we didn’t know about back then…

Mary-Jo Foley — a Microsoft expert at ZDnet — interviewed Casey McGee, Microsoft Senior Marketing Manager, about the new Windows Phone 7 Series and asked him if Microsoft would make the Zune music/video service available outside the U.S. His answer was clear:

It will be available in all countries where Windows 7 Phones will ship.

Microsoft is not yet disclosing that list adds Foley.
My guess? It will include all these countries.

Along with the 4.2 update Microsoft opened some European websites about the Zune-branded video service – who’s available in many European countries – on the Xbox 360. Interesting is the fact that Microsoft has added support for both German and Italian to the Zune Software, but neither the German nor the Italian Zune website makes notice of the existence of our beloved media managing software. As noted by My Microsoft Life this could maybe mean an international release of the Zune Software in some countries. This would make it possible for European Xbox-users to view their rented or purchased films on their PC.
