iTunes for Windows... and AOL?

[tirreldm]

From a PC user

I made it here looking to find info on whether or not iTunes was going to make it to PC format or not. For those of you who say it shouldn't happen, Apple would miss a huge audience if they didn't. It's a PC world and probably will be for a long time. Take it from a guy who started on Mac and switched to PC. Now I'm not knocking Mac, I like it, and of course it will be stable when Mac only makes it's own hardware for the most part. Less third party, less problems. One thing to consider about the great Mac, though: As I am a PC repair tech, we tried to score some parts for a Mac Power book that was only three years old at the time directly from Apple. The part was not available from them and we were directed to a doistributor. They stopped carrying that part a while back as well. It's simply BS that after three years a machine should become useless by not being able to access parts from the manufacturer. This doesn't happen with PCs nearly as much. I don't care if the software is more stable, if you don't have hardware to run the software then you are in trouble. Just something to think about...

All i can say is that at first i was dissapointed that it was iTunes only, w/ no pc version, but after reading this, it makes sense that apple brings iTunes to PC.

3 reasons why Apple should bring iTunes to PC:
1 - complete combaiblity with the iPod (no more musicmatch jukebox)
2 - it will keep the download service within iTunes...no 3rd party software involved that could potentialy mess things up
3 - iTunes is an awsome program and there is nothing like in the PC world. If i could, i would be using iTunes right now.

Just my 2 cents.

Apple should NOT bring all of its "i" programs to Windows platform, but they should release iTunes.. the 3 reasons are the ones above, and the 4th is that Apple will sell more songs and earn profit by releasing it to Windows users..
This is kind of investment.. For example, if someday people will carry photos around with their iPods and Apple will begin to use iPhoto to sell photos, then they should release iPhoto for Windows too.. this is just a way to make money, and in my opinion, it wouldnt damage the "switching" issue..
