Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China

frankie writes "As reported everywhere, Apple is holding a press conference in London on Tuesday June 15. The entirely un-subtle official sound bite is "the biggest story in music is about to get even bigger", not what we've come to expect from Lord Steve." Or read through the Reuters report. In other news, it appears that Apple has struck a deal with China's second larger computer manufacturer to preinstall iTunes.

    Well really, what _is_ the difference?

    Microsoft has a monopoly. Apple doesn't.

    That's it. Different rules apply if you have a monopoly. Microsoft may consider this "unfair", but there are good reasons for it.

    As a test, I sent a giftcard from my account to a friend in Manchester. Worked like a charm, and he never had to use a CC (which is part of the trigger process to kill Euro users.)

    ITMS has been available in Europe for a while, you just had to pay from the US.
