Ok, at that time BootCamp was still in beta, it actually got a proper release with OS X 10.5, before that it was considered beta. Maybe that amounted to some of the problems you experienced, and/or maybe you had some hardware issue. Macs are pretty high quality overall, but as with all hw nowadays, they have their share of issues, some of which can cause unstable behaviour.

I've never used iTunes on Windows, but I keep hearing it's an abomination. What exactly is so bad about it? The OS X version doesn't seem too bad, I actually like it, so I'm curious to know what they did wrong with the Windows version.

 

I'm not a windows user, but from what I understand, iTunes becomes the default program for any music files on your system without asking you and Apple's auto-update program (which comes with any Apple software on Windows) gets in your face and tries to get you to download Safari and other Apple software.

I think that iTunes is actually one of the better-behaved Apple Windows programs. I've had a lousy time trying to get Quicktime to work on a Windows machine. It's glitchy as hell.

Basically Apple software is just as lousy on the Windows platform as Microsoft software is on the Mac platform, and maybe even a little worse.

i would have to say it is bossy, but there is a tab and button, where you can permently ask not be informed of updates, unless required for other software, (some quicktime updates have to be run for itunes to run properly) but it is the same on the mac, all you have to do is change your configuration
