iTunes for XP?

[Fozzieb]

Hi just a question to ask what time is iTunes for windows to be released today?

[.weir]

Jobs is demoing the store...

I think everyone else is watching the same page, we don't need a play by play

[Steve]

I don't know what to do with myself, I'm just refreshing this thread, macrumours, and the itunes download page now, I can't take this anymore?:trout::?:uberhump:p:

When they say it only works on 2k & xp, i wonder if that means it uses anti-aliasing/shadows and such?

That or M$ paid Apple to make sure it wouldn't work on 9x systems, forcing them to upgrade! lol ...:laugh:h: (after all, tis the 'best app written')

wonder if it uses transparency or anything like that:unsure:e:

I hope it is as good as the Mac version, after all Apple really needs it to indicate the quality of its iApps, and maybe tempt people with "well if that app is so awesome, what about...?"

If it turns out like Quicktime, it'll be more Windows users complaining ... Moment of truth not far away, eh?:D:D

[Steve]

Where are you all watching this?

[Rage]

memo, is there a webcast? If so what's the URL?

I don't know of any webcast, but watching updates on www.macrumours.com is the next best thing.

[Dazzla Veteran]

[Hummer]

[Yazoo]

this is indeed good news, but will it work for us Brits?

I have a Mac and can't use the store, will it also be unusable on my PC?

[mac15]

uses OSX widgets! haha suck it windows users even though the widgets look and feel awesome!

[madj]

cheer's bit of a nooB but can't wait for this ;-)

[Steve]

it uses Mac-like scrollbars and widgets on Windows.

^^ I Wondered about that...

The File / Edit / etc Menu's will kinda ruin the feel a little, dontcha think?!

[Timan Veteran]

damn cant wait to try this, really hope its not crap, any anyone got screenies from the show? if they got news u know someone got pics :|

No. The iTMS is US (and Canada? Not sure...) only. Send some e-mails to Apple and try to encourage them (it might...sorta...maybe get them to do it, lol).

I think someone said, by the new year they hoped to do it. So Early 2004 i'd imagine ...

[lecter]

That is kinda silly, I would understand why they wouldn't want to provide this service to Burkina Faso, but there are countries other than the US&Canada who have just as good legal conditions to allow for something like this.

[Yazoo]

yeah or move to the USA, lol

[jackwanders]

From Neowin's front page:

"Pepsi will "craft a multimillion-dollar ad campaign around the music store." The report suggests that consumers will be able to find codes in Pepsi's packaging that they will be able to redeem online for free downloads through the iTunes Music Store."

That's cool.

[itsnotabigtruck]

I wonder if iTMS gift certificate e-mails use a custom protocol to start iTunes.

Example:

itunes:start_with_certificate(username, 8ab7a6b7ac76f878d)

[jackwanders]

dammit, the link (www.itunes.com) doesn't work!!

[Hummer]

haha figured this was going to happen.
