I bet somebody could sue them then! I just found a way to make loooooooooooots of doe…

It would be even more interesting if a class action lawsuit was started where all the people who installed iTunes could get money from it.

It sticks something in your control panel without asking, for a service you have to pay to use? How is this not considered Malware?

I was kinda wondering the same thing. Because I didn’t see anything in the EULA saying that it would be installed, and so it really installed the MobileMe without my consent.

Apple get away because of all this simplicity crap that anyone will buy, when what they’re basically doing is pushing sub standard flashy software at people. iTunes has not a single redeeming feature, I mean its a media player and doesn’t even have a standard playlist, only some stupid party shuffle thing that you have to right click to access. QuickTime is also a balls ache, mainly because people continue to use it – I’m just glad VLC plays the files and QT Alternative gives me the DLLs so I don’t have to look at it. Finally Safari, a browser so bland and featureless that “porn mode” (aka private browsing) is touted as a feature.

Stick to the iPod and iPhone, and let the big boys do the computers, k?

Whats the use of pushing mobileme when its a paid service?? $99 for a useless service? who will pay?? Its doubtful if people will use even if was offered for free!

More people use it than you think. You get a decent amount of file storage, and a lot of Mac applications can synchronize data with it.

You little sneak! I’m actually surprised Apple made it that “easy”.

If I recall correctly Bonjour has always been installed with iTunes. I think it’s required to locate other iTunes on the network.

The performance definitely isn’t the greatest on Windows, but I’ve never had too many troubles with them being buggy.

Apple loves to try and force the use of their products/services to their detriment. It’s for this very reason, that I refuse to buy another iPod, b/c they rigged the new ones so that you can’t sync your iPod to anything but iTunes on a Mac or PC.

I’ve also completely uninstalled all Apple software from my PCs b/c of their poor quality and bundling of undesired software.

Plus, I can find better FOSS alternatives to do everything that Apple software like iTunes and QuickTime does.
