Supposedly "fixes" some ringtone issues. Wonder if it disables the latest hack.

Speaking on nickel and diming, they are on a mission from god to break ringtone hacks....

I'm tired of downloading and restarting. This is the 3rd new iTunes in a month or so!! I think I'll wait till the firmware upgrade to install any new iTunes version.

No restart required for 7.4.2 (on a Mac at least)

On PC, there's always a restart if QT is installed along with it. And I think there's another new one with this upgrade. I will just wait for the firmware upgrade.

What if everytime MS updated a Windows component or application (Word, Excel, etc.) you had to reinstall the entire app. That would be annoying.

iTunes is not some little app - it's a big one. They need to figure out how to do updates better.

(Granted many MS patches require a reboot, but most do not (these days).

Was using Ubuntu the other day...needed to install some codecs. Installed and worked just fine...no restart. I guess the Unix advantage (and why Macs don't require a restart).

is restarting/rebooting your computer that cumbersome?

cmaier · #9 (**permalink**) 09-19-2007, 04:38 PM

yes. Another reason I've had it with windows.

Actually, yes...mainly becuase it interrupts my workflow. And for a while there, it seesm like Apple is issuing updates every other day.

The main problem with "dumping" Windows is that everything is supported/works/easy to do. When you go to the Mac, there isn't the same range of apps, and some things are a harder to do.

HOWEVER, the rise of open source apps and solutions have shrunk this gap. I have many Macs, but it's not quite at the point where I can make it my primary computer. But it's getting closer.
