iTunes and Windows Vista

VistaiPodAccording to Apple, Inc. the current version of iTunes is bascially incompatible with Windows Vista. The document describing the problems offers several “solutions” for those that insist on upgrading to Vista before an updated “Vista compatible” version of iTunes is released. Worst case scenario: “Ejecting an iPod from the Windows System Tray using the “Safely Remove Hardware” feature may corrupt your iPod. To always safely eject an iPod, choose Eject iPod from the Controls menu within iTunes.” Apple is also offering an iTunes Repair Tool for Vista 1.0 that will also supposedly solve some problems.

IMHO this is totally unacceptable. Vista has been gold since something like early December yet Apple has yet to solve the problem. I’m glad I ran across this before upgrading as I run my iPod off the same laptop I’ll be upgrading. Hopefully, Apple will release the updated version in the next two weeks before I get the time to install Vista.
