Some Users Say Win7 Wants To Remove iTunes, Google Toolbar

Posted by timothy on from the you-choose-the-teapot-you-choose-the-tempest dept.

Foofoobar writes "Due to a strike with the UK's postal system, people in Great Britain are getting copies of Windows 7 early and have already posted their experiences about the install process. Some have an easy time but others post installs taking 3 hours including Windows asking them to remove iTunes and Google toolbar prior to installation." The article indicates that many of these early users, though, are having better luck.

    Whoa Whoa Whoa,,,

    This is not forcing you to stop using iTunes as either your media player or for managing your iPod/iPhone.

    Its just that APPLE does not know how to right compliant software and has been foisting USB drivers into windows that were buggy the day they *cough* borrowed them and haven't improved with age.

    These lame Apple USB drivers were killing machines with certain types of HP printers attached and generally causing havoc. Apple was forced to release a patch.

    To get things properly in line with Device Stage you need an uninstall followed by a re-install.

    Its that simple. There is no conspiracy here. Calm down.
    Stop the FUD.

    You do realise that iTunes *uses* quicktime to play music. Quicktime is a library, not a player.
