All these releases/updates/fixes is a pain the a$$ and annoying! Seems more like a Microsoft practice.

The difference is that you have to download updates and reboot nearly every other day with Windows. The last time iTunes was updated was over a month ago.
 
What 'slowness' problem are you referring to? 8.1 is much faster with larger libraries. I don't notice any slowdowns here and I'm running my whole house library on a 1.8GHz PPC Mac.

When I click between libraries and playlists it takes 2-3 seconds (sometimes 5) to switch to what i've clicked on. it used to happen instantly in earlier versions.
 
would you actually want to rent an HD movie?

24 hours to watch a movie isn't worth paying for - i'd rather pay an extra 5-10 bucks and own it

Hear hear! :D

I am probably going to get an HD movie or two, provided a good one actually comes out of a studio in this decade. :D
 
I'm still not sure why you would BUY a movie when you haven't seen it before... what if you don't like it and you paid the extra cash for nothing? How can you say there are no good movies this decade but be willing to buy every movie you want to watch? Buying them would imply that you like them... I'm not intending to be offensive I just want to know why.
I can of course understand why you would buy something you've already seen.

It happens instantly here (no 2 sec delay switching between libraries and playlists) and like I said, I'm using a PowerMac from 2001 (upgraded to ~2005 specs-- see sig.) Maybe you've got a memory issue? What kind of Mac are you using and how much memory do you have?

well, it happened when I upgraded to 8.1, so not sure it's a mac issue. 2.4GHz with 4GM Ram. (mid 2007 imac). 8.1.1 did not make it as snappy as it used to be.... (thanks for the thoughts though)
