This comes across as highly biased and judgmental.

Quoting John Emmerling jpemmerl...@gmail.com: Out of curiosity, why do you keep using the term Windoze? You used it 3 Really? Tom spews anti-Microsoft vitriol and FUD no end, and you complain about this? Well I am a bit of a reluctant Wind*ows* user (left over from my OS/2 days). My laziness to learn a new OS is trumping my desire to make a change. Probably Linux 'cause Macs are *too expensive*.

Quoting Chris Dunford ch...@covesoftware.com: What do you suppose that is? I've got it running on three different versions of Windoze (2K, XP, 7) with no problems whatsoever.

As to why Apple hasn't fixed it: I don't know that either, but if I were a certain other list member, and it was MS not fixing a broken Mac version of its software, I would undoubtedly have some very dark claims about its being intentional. Maybe they should spend less on advertising and more on software engineering. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Out of curiosity, why do you keep using the term Windoze? You used it 3 times in your last post. I assume this is a reference to the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems (it would be pronounced the same). If it's an attempt to be clever, it seems to me about as lame an attempt as I can imagine. It's possible that, being over 50, I'm just too far out of sync with how young folks communicate these days.

Re: [CGUYS] iTunes: Crap or not. [Was: Launching iTunes on Windows Vista]
The Windows version of iTunes is just, well, bad software, as far as I can tell. What do you suppose that is? I've got it running on three different versions of Windoze (2K, XP, 7) with no problems whatsoever. It's slower than molasses on the 2K computer (P3 450), but it runs. You'd think that Apple would want to look into that. If you figure that if 25% of Windoze users have it and all Mac users, I'm sure there are more Windoze installs than there are Mac. I really don't know. It seems to work fine on many systems but very poorly or not at all on many others. It could be conflicting with something else that's installed, but who knows? As to why Apple hasn't fixed it: I don't know that either, but if I were a certain other list member, and it was MS not fixing a broken Mac version of its software, I would undoubtedly have some very dark claims about its being intentional. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I'm not quite sure who you intended that for, John, but those were in material that I quoted--they aren't mine. By the way, young whippersnapper, I'm older than you. :). * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
