Apple is Porting iTunes to Windows

Posted by pudge on from the oops dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Apple is indeed porting its new iTunes software to Windows as evidenced by a posting on its job board (No. 1949938) This has interesting implications for Apple trying to sell more expensive hardware when the same apps are available on cheaper Wintel hardware. Is this inevitable? Will this have any effect on P2P networks?" Sure enough, I go there and it says, " Looking for a Senior Software Engineer to desing (sic) and build Apple's newest Consumer Application, iTunes for Windows." Heh.

    So...they want it to drive Mac and iPod sales, but they won't let anyone who hasn't bought one or both even look inside the store? That's wonderful logic.

    Maybe they should make it so you have to have both the iPod and the Mac already before you can look at anything! The way to bring the customers in, is to keep the customers out...right?

    Downloaded the new firmware, and installed it.

    Bought music from the Music Store.

    Played it on my iPod.

    Can you shut up now, please?
