would like to know this...

 

Apple's iTunes 8 has some interesting side effects.  It causes a BSOD on
Vista:

"Symptoms

 

After installing iTunes 8 for Windows, some users may see a blue screen
error message when connecting iPhone or iPod to a Windows Vista
computer. In some cases, the computer may immediately restart when
connecting iPhone or iPod to the computer.

 

Products Affected

 

iPod, iPhone, iPod touch, Windows Vista, iPod touch (2nd generation),
iTunes 8 for Windows, iPhone 3G"

 

 

ZDNet has a pretty good write up here (note to the glitterati, the
column does rag on Apple for delivering "massive amounts of new software
to users, including a device driver that has a long and checkered
history of causing the Blue Screen Of Death to appear. And it's
delivering this massive payload without even a pretense of proper
disclosure and without asking consent from its users."
