Maybe some specs on this Gateway comp? I think you need to be a tad more specific there chief.
But if a cheep gateway can own 4 cores @ 3.0GHz each, i will have to buy one.

You know they have something to hide when they have an organized effort to bury the truth in comments.

Now DRM, that is is really what gets me. You may complain about Apple branded DRM, but DRM of any brand annoys the hell out of me. Apple's DRM is a bit nicer than most DRM, in what it allows you to do, but like all the solutions out there, its still an obstruction get doing what I want with my music. It is for this reason that I still buy CDs, since I get no DRM restrictions with any software. If you are going to complain to anyone make it be the record industry.]]>Feb 3rd 2007 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 3rd 2007 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/
You do realize the hardware in your mac and the hardware in any pc is more or less the same right now?
I hate fanboys of any kind... especially those who do not know what they are talking about like the Macview]]>Feb 2nd 2007 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/
1. iTunes worked fine with Vista, in some machines.
2. Apple isn't the only one not to support Vista straight away. See, Logitech, NVIDIA ...
3. They shouldn't have to support Vista rightaway. Who says that everytime crappy Microsoft dishes out a new version of its OS, all developers should adopt it and re-write theis software to run on it.
4. It only took MS over 5 years to finish Vista and we want Apple to go off their Course, stop the development of their projects, Leopard, iPhone etc and focus on crappy Vista. Isn't that a lot to ask?]]>Feb 3rd 2007 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/
Fact is your all are complaining about nothing. Like it's never happened before on any machine (Mac or PC) that something has a problem that wasn't found and needs a fix - boo hoo. Windows has needed a fix every day of it's unatural life yet you don't compalain about that, huh?

The only reason you defend Windows OS is;
a) you have no clue of what benifits you gain from the other platform (that is to say you've never used it)
b) you assume the other "side" thinks they are better you, therefore you must condem and lash out against the supposed "enemy"
or
c) penis envy (so to speak)

I work in a mixed environment where most Windows users "Don't get it" when it comes to Macs, especially IT support (that's why they come to me of course) and 90% of the time they are looking for the hard way to find something or change something on a Mac when it's actually staring them in the face.

For gods sake it 2007 and the interface betqween users and computers as thought out by man should be much better than it is. And whether you believe it or not and no matter what you think of Apple in general, they are a company that's about making a profit, with the philosiphy of making inovative products to do so - even at the cost of "we know whats best for you" type of attitude.

Look at it this way, If there was no Apple, you'd still be using Windows 3.1 instead of it's OSX inspired dead twin.

Wow, let me get this straight: I'm supposed to not upgrade my OPERATING SYSTEM because the authors of a free application can't be arsed to update their damn program, and I might not be able to use it to play my mp3s.

Yes. Except, no.

In the meantime, I'll continue not using iTunes, or Quicktime, or DRMed music as I sit here using my "spyware-ridden" free copy of Vista Business while those of you that know nothing more of Vista than a) it's made by Microsoft and b) you read an article about it linked through Engadget, once or maybe twice, and c) saw Billy-boy on the Daily Show, weigh in with worthless opinions when you've never gotten within 100 feet of someone who has a cousin that used the first beta release of Vista and haphazardly throw together a non-IE7-compliant website with some sound clips that are designed to make me rename all my system files and change my homepage to goatse. ]]>Feb 2nd 2007 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/2.

1. Dunno. I wouldn't install that piece of crap in my PC with it's dependent services leeching my processor and memory running when aren't needed and booting when the pc does.

2. Get your facts straight. NVIDIA was supporting Windows Vista since day one with beta drivers for Vista since the release of RC1 in August. Creative released beta drivers for their 'old' audio cards like my Soundblaster Audigy in October/November way before the release. Regarding Logitech, most USB periferals work fine with XP drivers and in most cases Windows already comes with drivers for them and gets the things working right out of the box, or goes get them on the internet for you. And please, be aware that Windows most support thousands of hardware and the same doesn't happens with Apple that has a limited hardware to support and in most cases Apple forgets their hardware released 4/5 years ago when releases new software while the same doesn't happens with Microsoft(at least with the same magnitude).

3. You are being a fanboy, when you attack a company with such a passion, it's not even worth commenting.

4. You don't know how things work in a company. You are aware that a sofware company, like every other company, has different teams that work on different things, for example iTunes team isn't the same that develops Leopard etc.. are you?
So what's that crap on wasting resources? lol.. In my humble opinion they got it all working already but are delaying the release.

And plus, since I am on it, I will enlighten you in a matter before you say crap about vista, Windows Vista doesn't uses REGISTRY! It emulates it so that old software can run on it, got it? Windows Vista is more _secure_, the real changes on vista aren't on the surface but under the hood. SO I BEG YOU APPLE ZEALOTS, refrain from shouting crap and go use MAC OS X and let us be with our copy-cat piece of crap of OS k?]]>Feb 3rd 2007 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/Feb 2nd 2007 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/apple-sez-itunes-users-should-hold-off-on-vista/

I bought a Mac only after it got Bootcamp so I could run windows on it. 95% of the Itunes users are Windows Users. And I know all the blogger love Apple/iPods/iMacs. Whatever they say Vista is rock solid and is more intuitive in many ways then OSX.
