I agree with you to a point.

Just yesterday I was ripping a new CD and trying to play hte music at the same time. The music was stuttering, not constantly, but stuttering. Annoying as hell. I think some of it is a problem with iTunes 5, and some of it Windows.

But installing an app you have to close everything down? I don't think so. Are you exaggerating here, or is your system just crappy?

I've never had problems with decompressing files.

I think what the guy was referring to was this, some Windows apps will force a reboot at the end of the install process. So, naturally, you have to close all other open apps.

And you never have problems decompressing files ? how often do you actually use .tgz or .gz under Windows ?

Not nearly as often as I would in nix, but from time to time.
