        <description><![CDATA[Yeah, cause Windows updates never cause any problems; so it must be Apple doing it. I remember XP SP2 it caused crashes for 1000s..wait that is not a good example. There was the IE update that..no another bad example. Windows media player caused BSOD..OOPs another bad example. Well, if we all just keep saying it is Apple's fault, well then it must be. Windows is perfect. I can only remember a few thousand bad updates in the last couple years coming from Windows.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Upgraded Quicktime Player brought iTunes 8 along and my DVDs died. A little googling found a fix that worked:====================================Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value, if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.Restart your computer.====================================Large happiness ensued. No more iTunes, ever. - br]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Aside from the fact that Apple writing software for Windows sounds bad enough, Apple's recent quality control in software [and hardware] is probably non-existant. A recent article I read states that since January, there has been 30 flaws in quickTime alone.Not just iTunes is overrated. So are their hardware products. Seems anyone who wants to be &quot;in fashion&quot; has an iPhone or iPod...Maybe it's a sinister plot by Apple. Those novices who don't know squat are getting BSOD and are blaming Microsoft instead of Apple. Then they see one of those misleading Mac vs PC commercials and decide to switch.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-273677-2594057]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[In recent years, Apple and Microsoft seem to have reached Detente when it comes to offering software on the other company's operating system. Unfortunately, neither company has made a wholehearted effort.Both seem to be incapable, or more likely unwilling, to write code for the other company's operating system. The Windows version of iTunes has always been buggy. And, Microsoft Office for Mac OS is a far cray from its Windows counterpart.As someone who works on both Windows and OS X, I wish Apple and Microsoft would get their acts together and write good code for the other's operating system.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I've been having troubles with the previous version of iTunes. When I uninstalled the Bonjour service that showed up in my programs screen, I got plagued by BSOD's. I reasoned I only have a single iPod, no need for scanning my Local Network. Reverting to a System Restore point before the Bonjour service was installed stopped the trouble. I then got furious with the program, and reverted to the System Process before I installed iTunes. I use MediaMonkey as music player, and I am going to look into Floola for synchronizing. No more iTunes on my computer, never, no more.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Helpful to know. In honesty, this isn't the first time Apple software has caused trouble with Windows machines. It happens often enough that you'd be a fool not to believe that it's somewhat intentional. I can't stand having Apple crap on my Windows boxes. Apple stuff works great on Apples. IMO Itunes is overrated anyways. Use Sharepod instead and tell Jobs and his pathetic fanboys to stick it.]]></description>
