An even bigger problem is Apple’s attitude toward its Windows customers. These additional software packages and drivers are being installed with no disclosure and no consent. A pile of software, including the troubled MobileMe service, is also being installed and enabled at startup on Windows machines, even where the user has no MobileMe account and, for that matter, no mobile device.

i can't even use itunes at home because i run xp 64 and for some reason itunes installs but then gives a message that under the 64bit os some functions wont work.

makes no sense because basically every program i run is 32 bit and windows x 64 is made to support x32 apps.


speaking of itunes, i need to go check my bank account to see if they refunded the $1 they charged me for downloading a free iphone app.

Which makes me wonder whether Apple did this deliberately.

It's even weirder when you consider iTunes works flawless under Vista 64...
