I just hate how apple doesn't allow for the rolling back of an update if one discovers that the new update is not working for them. This is one of my reasons for holding off on itunes 11. Having used itunes 10.6 on a xp machine i can honestly say that the itunes 10 running on a 64 bit windows 7 computer is super fast and i don't think that the new itunes will be any faster and besides, how much easier then having itunes launching in about 10 seconds and it opening up right in the list view. It sounds like itunes 11 has a lot more keystrokes to do before one can get to doing work.
