Comments on: iTunes 8 Causes Windows Vista Problems

Windows Users Seeing Blue Screen Of Death After Upgrading

[shanev137]

Been running Vista 64-bit and 32-bit on parallel systems for over a year now and other than an updating issue when it first came out, it has never crashed on me or caused me problems. The only real drawback to 32-bit is the RAM limitations and operating speed. The drawback to 64-bit is that the software industry hasn''t caught up to 64-bit technology yet.

Running Vista Ultimate 64 for a couple of months now. So far it''s been rock solid. I upgraded to iTunes 8 and haven''t been affected by the BSOD issue.

I love Vista too. Had it, had lots of problems, got rid of it, went back to XP and everything has been fine ever since!!!

I rolled back to XP after a 9 month long disappointment with Vista. Vista was very good at first, until I started connecting a multitude of USB related devices, just as the article described. After deleting the partition and re-formatting, and installing XP, I found my PC booting up twice a fast and remaining stable. The biggest killer was reading SD memory sticks from my camera. Vista seemed to go into the "NOT RESPONDING" mode fairly predicably. XP seems to operate just fine. Flight Simulators seem to invite BSOD if other programs, like SKYPE were not ended and incoming calls occured, before launching the Flight Sim.

I come to accept that I expect too much from one PC, so I built three and segregated my programs so each does just one thing, Flight Sim, Photo Editing, and Internet-SKYPE-Emails. Only one is connected to the internet and seems to be stable.

The problem with all Microsoft products has always been that rather than basing their software on industry "standards", Microsoft always invents their own unique proprietary "solutions" that are intentionally designed to be incompatible with competitors products. That way they can "lock" their customers into using only Microsoft products.

Apple does exactly the same thing.

It''s a very deceptive and underhanded tactic, but it has served both companies very well financially, over the years, and they''re hardly about to change the practice any time soon, so just get used to it.

I much prefer the open-source Linux OS myself. A lot of my friends have switched to Ubuntu Linux this year, and say they''ll NEVER go back to MS Windows or Apple''s OSX again.

["Sorry, you have your facts wrong.

Is the Records Companies fear of Apple Power that has them holding back the DRM. Much of that is coming from NBC/Universal/GE (all same Company) in their effort to stay relevant in this new Digital Age. And they are afraid, very afraid, that Apple will byatch slap them all over the place as time goes by. But, if you caught the news this week, NBC has now come back on their knees crying to Apple to once again include NBC TV shows in iTunes, after NBC got all puffy and pulled them a while back."]

Hmmmm.....I was wondering why some of the shows I like could no longer be found on itunes

Windows Vista IS the problem...

"Apple incompatible with..."

It''''s been the same story ever since Steve Jobs decided he could build a nice little religious cult by deliberately remaining incompatible with whatever MS puts out.

Apple''s more compatible with windoze than most windoze applications!

Vista simply SUX.
