iTunes…Why?

by Mike McDerment  |  November 3/2006  | 

I love my I pod…for the most part I like iTunes software, but why on earth can’t Apple figure out how to do software updates painlessly? They want to make me go to their site, download the update and install the new version. WTF. Can’t they figure out how ask me if I want the upgrade, then do this in the background without bothering me?

Buy a Mac ;)

Then you just run a system update.

C’Mon everyone is doing it!

And it will bring you a little more inner peace.

Fair enough. Pity they would not just go the extra mile and make it work for PC users…Now that Macs have “Intel Inside”, they are practically Mircosoft products themselves now anyhow ;)

Well, besides moving to the Mac, I am greatly annoyed to have to update iTunes every other day. I even downloaded and ran the setup twice when iTunes asked me to update! Bah.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates this

Back in Jan I posted this http://offbeatmammal.com/pt/blog/default.aspx?id=31&t=Apple-iPod-Updater-most-stupid-softwar

and then more recently I gave up on a bad thing and installed SongBird (http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/blogs/obm/archive/2006/10/25/SongBird-_2D00_-music-to-my-ears-_3A002900_.aspx)
