- andrepd 11y agoI beg to differ.
- NicoJuicy 11y agoTell that to the author of this post
- e40 11y agoIt's pretty clear that iTunes is one of the worst pieces of software available on Mac or Windows. It certainly makes the top 10.
- MaysonL 11y agoOne of the worst widely distributed and used pieces of software. There are many, many, crappies, buggier, pieces of software out there; it's just that nobody has to use them.
- gumby 11y agoSad to say, the bar is so low that I agree -- they make the least terrible software of a consumer electronics company. It's how I've felt for decades as a Mac user: boy they suck, but they suck less than any of the (desktop) alternatives. (edit: I see you updated your post to clarify -- now this is redundant.)
- mxfh 11y agoAnd it wants you to be a consumer badly. The case described here, is of a producer/artist loosing unique works due to a consumer software rationale, that assumes that all in the reach of the software is not yours and thereby at whims of the license givers/maintainers.
- wvenable 11y agoAlso Apple only begrudgingly supports Enterprise customers with their iDevices. It seems like it should be a huge opportunity for Microsoft to make a dent with their mobile platform but they decided to focus on the consumer market as well.
