Aside from MacOS/iOS native software, IMHO Apple software for Windows has become unusable. I tried using iCloud for Windows, but the sync behavior is unreliable, and I found myself without critical files on more than one occasion. This is not to mention the absurd background CPU usage. iTunes on Windows is even worse. The built-in updater seems to fail on every major release, i.e. for 12.4,12.5,12.6 etc. Even under normal use, there are times when iTunes just refuses to launch. The background processes are running, but there’s nothing on my screen. I’ve resorted to delaying my iTunes software updates until absolutely necessary, and then doing a clean install of iTunes. This is not to mention the myriad issues with authorizing computers to download previously purchased content, or the fact that iTunes will quite literally prompt you for the same password multiple times, with no UI notification telling you that you’ve entered it correctly or incorrectly.
