I've heard some whining that the ATi cooler on one of the models that apple ships as standard causes it to vibrate and radically increase sound levels. Maybe you could test your card without its fan for a few moments to see if that helps.
Why would they want to associate iTunes (the player) with another piece of hardware ?
Besides its effectiveness, the iTunes software has one unique feature, it works with iTMS, and since none of the other hardware players support the FairPlay DRM implemented by apple and ITMS, ( excluded the eminent Hpod) spending money developing supporting and bug fixxing it so that it syncs with other players doesn't seem to have an upside.
Its a good piece of software, with nice features, but why should it try to take on everything ? Its the best player for people with iPods, making it 'just work' for iPods on windows. Its a good database driven player. It can share over the network.
I agree, his base criticism is not at all constructive. He could have been running an iBook linux distro, and the logic board still would have failed.
Maybe he didn't buy the warranty and he's grumpy ?

So waht do you think the developers are more attracted too ? Security on a console, or a large install base ?
