Microsoft fixes Vista iPod corruption bug

Yeah, don't connect your 8Gb iPod Nano 2nd Gen to XP, either, unless you've installed the VERY LATEST iTunes version. Otherwise, you'll have to restore, because your tracks will queue up, but not play. DRM again.

umm ok, nice way to mess with those darned apple people Microsoft, n e ways, my sister has a problem where itunes keeps maximizing so she has to like have a person send her a song via msn messenger, so if anyone has any idea how to fix that, I'd appreciate...and yes I know this isnt the right place to put this question, but since ppl who have ipods and probably have vista will read this newsfeed, I thought I might take advantage, Thanks for any help,
AFTERDAWN RULES!!!

I don't know why people do that thing in the first place if you finished using it just pull it out. It does not cause that much of a problem that i have seen on XP or Vista.

itunes is the worst ipod program...just a hassel, never updated, have an original 10 gig white giant ipod, i use anapod explorer, no problem, just drag and drop files, easier and faster than itunes and it never messes up your files

I killed an old Lexar JumpDrive 128mb doing that, I don't know if they have ever solved the problem but I will always safely remove in Windows and drag the disk to the trash first in Mac. Memory Stick and SD cards, on the other hand get pulled without removing (because it turns off my usb memory reader for some reason and as much as I love reaching behind my computer... and Windows 2000 always gives an error but never a problem yet.

A. I have to agree. Don't ever pull a USB component out without shutting it down first.
B. Songbird is a much better alternative to iTunes IMHO.

I wonder how much of this software / hardware incompatibility is deliberate?
