Default Zing "Software" confirmed

Well if this is already "confirmed" I apologize, and it seems to be "common knowledge" that the Zing software is what the Stiletto will be running, but while reading thru the Stiletto home kit manual, I managed to force myself to read over the EULA (End User License Agreement) and caught these nuggets:

Sirius, its partners and suppliers, including without limitation, Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), ZING Systems, Inc. (“ZING”),

There are also alot of references to some GNU General Public License software that has been "modified" by Zing. Like the Linux nod below:

Linux. Linux is distributed under the GNU General Public License. A copy of the GNU General Public License may be found
at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html. Portions of the work were modified by Zing Systems, Inc. 2005-2006. The original and
modified source code can be found at www.sirius.com/opensource.


It is interesting that it says that the source code can be found at the sirius address listed above...I already checked...We're sorry, the page you're looking for has moved or been deleted.

Oh well, since I have nothing else to do while I wait for these bad boys to start shipping, I thought I would post this.

Default If Sirius had actually announced this product by now

your find would be a whisper in the wind...but since there is hardly any concrete information to be found anywhere that is meaningful, you just hit jackpot. Most people had written off the Zing connection by now, but it looks like something is included afterall....good find.
