I tried something similar, and I got the music onto my hard drive, but I couldn't get iTunes to add it to the library. I might try it again without iTunes installed, though-- thanks, Sue. The other problem here is that I'm doing it with Vista, so it's hard to tell if my problems are Vista-related.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

I think I may have completely replaced what was on my iTunes on my PC with the library from my iPod. (I was worried about a total iPod failure and I knew what was on my desktop was duplicated on the computer.)
The other thing I did was rename the hidden music folder, and called it iTunes backup.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow, this is harsh. A C-Net editorial saying Microsoft must abandon Vista before it's too late....
Having not used Vista, I can't say if things are as bad as he says... maybe his annoyance level reached the breaking point.

For the first time on any operating system, we're not even allowed to backup our favorite movies?
Yeah, I remember the first time I backed up a movie on my Commodore. Or was it when I was using Win 3.1? Never did I think a time would come that I couldn't back up my own movies. I mean, backing up movies makes so much sense, and really, who doesn't?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a very clumsily written piece. I felt I was listening to him talk, and not in a good way.
As for the content--dunno. I have no interest in running Vista at this time, but the moment MS stops polarising people the earth will reverse its rotation about its axis.
Oy.

I can't really comment on the piece technically, but it's not persuading me as to why MS should write off however many millions it poured into the OS unless Vista actively blows up machines. Yeah, it has annoying features and TBH not much excitement, but nothing he cites can't be worked around or plain turned off, and some of the problems will go away when people upgrade their equipment.

as a die hard mac fan, I question the "hot on the heals" statement. I think MacOS CPU sales still makes up something like 7% of the market. 7%...hot? eh. Not so much. I'd be curious to see the sales figures of MacOS vs Vista. That would be interesting.
The pricing is staggering. That is what I find offending. What is it? $200 for Home Basic version? And another $239 for office? MacOS is the same $200 for a FAMILY PACK (5 licenses). The work suite is $79.

I confess, I have yet to see/play Vista. Not much desire. I have an XP install on my bootcamp. That's enough for me.

Yeah "must abandon" is awfully melodramatic. I'll bet that by SP2 it'll be as stable as XP or 2000 ever was.
Early adopters (& people unlucky enough to need a new computer right after a new OS is released) always deal with bugs, that's just how it is.

Lots of people in the office use Vista with no issues. I'm sure the issues will smooth themselves out. I haven't upgraded to Vista at work because I haven't wanted to take the time. At home, I don't have any reason to spend the money to upgrade my OS that just gets used for some work stuff and the occasional game. I use Kubuntu for everything else.
I think the biggest problem with Vista is that there just isn't a good reason for people with XP to upgrade. Why spend money and risk breaking anything when XP is working fine?
I'd be curious to see the sales figures of MacOS vs Vista. That would be interesting.
I think OS/X people are more likely to upgrade the OS on existing hardware while Windows people are more likely to upgrade by buying a new computer. When you can get a new desktop for as little as $250 I can't say that's a bad way to upgrade.
I'd be curious to see how OS/X would do if it wasn't tied to Apple hardware, Hackintoshes aside.
