Surely, you're joking, right? I've never played with iTunes much on OSX, but it must be something REALLY special, because the Windows version is the biggest piece of shit known to man. (Well, maybe not quite as bad as the Zune software, but pretty close.) I had to set up iTunes on my parents' computer to manually sync an iPod/iPad, because they didn't want the same content going to both devices. And well... let's just say I would rather tongue the sweaty asshole of a Kenyan marathon runner than to do that again. The first thing I had to do was to convince iTunes to NOT delete everything on the iPad, which it wanted to do simply because I had made the mistake of syncing it on my computer before I did it on theirs. Actually, I pretty much had to because I set the iPad up at my house, and it wouldn't f**king operate out of the box until it talked to iTunes first. To me, iTunes is like an airplane. It does fine if you let it do its thing, but the minute you need to take it off 'auto pilot' and assume control, it crashes and burns.

That's what I love about my Droid Incredible - I plug it in to my PC, and it's a drive letter. No Apple bloatware is required. Why the concept of mass storage is so goddamn complicated to so many people is beyond me.

BTW: Bought a Dell in Feb of 2002, and it's still running 8 and a half years later, with the same mobo, hard drive, CPU, and PSU.
