http://www.tonybove.com/blog/?p=6 My view of the future of iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and personal tech Mon, 29 Oct 2007 19:40:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 http://www.tonybove.com/blog/?p=6#comment-80 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 01:36:33 +0000 http://www.tonybove.com/blog/?p=6#comment-80 [...] Among several Windows Vista patches released yesterday, Microsoft included one that lets iPods be disconnected without getting corrupted (see “Microsoft trying to make Vista iPod-friendly” by Ina Fried, CNET News.com). As I reported here and in my other blog (see “iTunes Pulls Over at Vista Point“), iPods suffered from eject problems at the hands of Vista. Many thought that Apple was shunning Vista and being sluggish to fix things on purpose; others thought that perhaps Microsoft was sabotaging the iPod and iTunes. In this industry, both are possible and even likely.

Also, don’t expect iTunes to run on 64-bit editions of Windows, including Windows Vista and Windows XP x64. I covered some tips on getting around these problems in a previous entry.
