iTunes for Windows

Apple’s iTunes 4.1 is out for Windows as well as for MacOS. After having taken a look at it, I’ve got to say that it seems quite nifty. Too bad my iPod is acting up (FireWire disconnects seemingly randomly and I am unable to get a reply from Apple (and their Web-Form is broken))…
