Too buggy, too invasive
I never got so far as importing everything into their library, I just used iTunes to download the free music I got from a Pepsi bottle cap. I loaded iTunes onto my computer and performance immediately dropped even when iTunes wasn?t running. I use WMP10 and it?s a decent resource hog with 10k files but it?s svelte compared to iTunes.

So after about a week I decided to remove iTunes. I went through the normal steps but it didn?t remove everything, at every reboot I got a message telling me that iTunes couldn?t find a dll file. First off I just deleted you why are you still here looking for files? And second even if you were still here I told you not to load at startup. In the end I didn?t get rid of the messages and get my performance back till I did a full reinstall of XP.

Maybe its Apple getting revenge on all Microsoft?s OSs but what kind of buggy invasive spyware is iTunes?
