I'm repeatedly amused at the Windows snobs bitching about iTunes being the dominant system and somehow "shutting out" Windows people who refuse to put free software on their computer.  For years and years, Macintosh users dealt with much more significant and irrational bullshit from vendors who pretended the only OS was Windows.

Saying that.  I've never heard anyone say anything like that.

If iTunes was a Windows product, Mac people would laugh at it.

You claim that you're amused by Windows users bitching about iTunes and how it's shutting them out.  I don't know anyone saying those things.  I know a fair number of Windows users, myself included, who don't like the Windows version of iTunes, but I don't know anyone who thinks they're being "shut out" of anything because they refuse to install/use it.

Try a Linux forum. But then, there wasn't a Linux client so it's kind of hard to argue that they weren't being "shut out".

With Linux, it's usually more about what it isn't shut out of...at least as far as commercial applications go :P

This.  I refuse to install iTunes or any other Apple product on my system.  Hell I even use "Quicktime Alternative" to keep that Quicktime nonsense off my  system.

He's talking about someone not being able to use his iPod without having iTunes installed on Harry Tuttle's machine...not quite the same thing, since Harry Tuttle isn't complaining about not being able to access content.  In fact, it's the other way around.  The guy with the iPod couldn't get it.

I believe my only 2 items I own that are Apple related are Quicktime and various Beatles paraphernalia (shirts, posters, cd's, pirated mp3's).
