Or so says the lastest news:
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Apple Inc. (AAPL) 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. (MSFT)
Apple said iTunes may work with many Vista computers, but the company knows of some compatibility problems and recommends that users wait until it resolves the issues with an iTunes update in the next few weeks, the company said in a statement provided Friday by spokesman Derick Mains. The iTunes software is key to synching music on computers with iPod portable players.
Talk about a mess, and it's hard to say why this wasn't avoided given that Microsoft and iTunes work together even though Apple and Windows are rivals. Why Microsoft wouldn't take the time to make sure that such a popular item such as an iPod or iTunes would work seamlessly leaves one to wonder...related to pushing something else? hmmm.....
