"Acquired" a copy of Windows Vista

[rocketman]

Alright, I'm getting a copy of Vista Home Premium from the school. Might just do a triple-boot on my Macbook and test it out before putting it on my HTPC, that way we can get a battle-royale going on. Vista won't work in Parallels very well just yet which sucks cause I've been using XP on it and it kicks ass.

Apple Inc. is urging some iPod and iTunes users to hold off on upgrading computers to Windows Vista, warning that the iTunes music software may not work well with the new operating system from rival Microsoft Corp.

I don't understand that. Wouldn't Apple have a few computers capable of testing their Windows iTunes software using a beta of Vista?

I'm glad I don't rely on iTunes.

No kidding. If you are delaying upgrading a computer based upon the fact that your prescious Itunes software won't work...

A reason I didn't get an IPOD was because I wanted to be able to use all of the songs I already have downloaded and not have to pay for downloads.

Limewire all the way for me.

I am still waiting for the bug where when you use an iPod on a windows based machine you just die.

With an iPod you can use all of the songs you have already downloaded.
And you can still download with limewire if you wish, the iPOD/iTUNES doesnt care where you get the songs from.
You just import the songs into your iTUNES playlist then download them to your iPod.

When I was shopping for an MP3 player Best Buy said that only the high $$ IPOD with the biggest video screen could play any mp3, they said the smaller GB IPODS played only Itunes songs.

i may be wrong, but i think that you were given bad info. as long as the appropriate music file is uploaded to itunes, you may download it into your ipod, regardless of the type of ipod.

question... will the songs currently on an ipod upload into, say, a new itunes program? i attempted to update my itunes version, and the process of updating wiped out my library... which @#%!*&$ sucks! granted, i'm sure that i can find out the answer elsewhere, but i thought i'd ask here first.

thanks.

No idea...I don't have an IPOD or use ITunes...

if you're interested, i may be willing to give to you my virtually unused creative zen. i got an ipod shortly after i received the zen and haven't used the zen at all, except for putting a few shins songs on it. the problem is that i'm not sure where it is exactly, and i can't recall if i have all of the manuals. maybe i do. it's a couple years old, but it should still be in new condition.

let me know. no biggie.

Ended up getting an RCA MP3 player which was much more reasonably priced than the Ipods but thanks for the offer.
