Since you now work for M/S and used to for work for Apple I have a
question that covers both.

When might we get an iTunes which works under Vista without the
interface crashing after you've ripped a few CDs; meaning you need to
end-task the thing and re-load?

I bought a new PC at Christmas and put Vista (Ultimate) on it.  I just
don't see the point in upgrading.  Apart from needing to buy more
memory, etc. to run it and that being good for the hardware industry -
why upgrade?  I use Windows XP at work and it's fine.  Vista at home
is pretty much the same apart from being more graphical and crashing
more often.

All the best.

p.s. Hoping the Audities list doesn't turn into Techie Central.  It's
my safe haven from the dullness of computing.
