iTunes is cross platform. Is Steve saying that iTunes is crap?
- naner 17y agoIt certainly is on Windows. Same goes for Safari on Windows.
- papachito 17y agoMicrosoft should ban it from Windows then.
- yellowbkpk 17y agoApple would probably like that. They don't have to spend money on support and can point their finger at Microsoft when customers come to complain. Also, a small fraction of complaining customers might actually purchase a Mac. Cha ching!
- blasdel 17y agoAnd they'd finally make their devices useful without being synced to a computer!
- edanm 17y ago"Also, a small fraction of complaining customers might actually purchase a Mac." While the rest can't use their IPods anymore? I don't think Apple would be too happy with that.
- yellowbkpk 17y agoThe majority of the functions that used to require a computer-to-iPhone sync can be done over the air now.
- petercooper 17y agoThe difference is that Windows users are used to using primarily shoddy, poorly designed software. Most PCs even come with some preinstalled.
- clawrencewenham 17y agoiTunes runs on machines with RAM measured in the gigabytes, hard-drives in the terabytes, cooling fans and continuously or frequently connected power adaptors. When you have those kinds of resources to slop around, then sure, you can spend them on abstractions that only serve the programmer's convenience.
