Building a hardware device that doesn't work for Windows would be an extremely poor business decision.


Not at all. The significant majority of computing hardware equipment that is made today, or already is in existance, doesn't work with Windows 7.

ARM CPUs are a good example. Any x86 PC more than a few years old is another. Supercomputers and large parrallel arrays of machines run Linux, as does a fair percentage of servers.

No they don't care if it is commercial but there aren't enough open source alternatives to commercial software. There still isn't a good itunes alternative which is used by almost every person I know.


Amarok is the best available music collection manager, and it works fine with iPods.

If you need a source where you can legally purchase music, buy a CD. You can buy CDs online if you want. Amarok can rip it for you and put the result on your iPod for you.
