Beginning late last week, some Apple users noticed that the Windows version of iTunes would abruptly quit just as they were in the process of purchasing music from the online store."</i><br /><br />Heh. And just before Christmas too. Way to go, Apple. Perhaps this is a new marketing tactic to get PC customers to buy Macs. I can see it now...<br /><br /><b>Customer: </b><i>"Yes, I'm having trouble purchasing music from iTunes. It keeps crashing on me before I can download the song."</i><br /><b>Apple Support:</b><i> "Yes sir, we are aware of the problem; it's called Windows. You need to upgrade to one of our exciting computers to get the full benefit of iTunes." </i><br /><br />And God bless us, everyone. :wink:

Kent -

You failed to mention that a number of the users impacted by this had just installed an update to XP SP2. That could certainly have something to do with it. Microsoft wouldn't do anything to dissuade their users from using Apple software would they?

Everything seems to be working fine on my Windows XP SP2 computer with iTunes 4.7. It must be a small number of users that are having problems.
