Oh, I need to restart my PC. :/ Anyone else get that message?

For me it was not needed.

New icon:

It would be nice if it would match with the appstore icon, but it's not matching! (The white icon in the middle don't have the same border) Shame...

Just checked for updates with the Windows Apple Software Update and it's found it. Itunes 11 here I come! :D

Has anybody confirmed if it is a rewrite?

It's a rewrite. Streaming music previews from the store are so much faster and it opens in a second. It's awesome. How is this on PC guys?

Argh! They've ruined it for me!!!!!

As you can see from the screenshot below, I like my grid view! Where are the settings to change the album art sizes to large?! Where is the option in preferences to change the background colour to black?! WTF Apple!

This is the same scenario that happened when they launched version 9, they removed it and added it back due to huge request.

Feels very fast on Windows.

Feels snappy enough on my Windows laptop, but I didn't have any problems with v10 either... The real test (for me) is how well it runs on my wife's kid's Pentium 4... v10 runs ok on that machine, but if there is any real performance difference I will see it on that machine.

Feels very fast on Windows.

Also, if using Windows Server in Standalone/Workstation mode, iTunes 11 won't bork on you.

As to who would run Windows Server that way, someone using it as a straight Hyper-V Server or as a replacement for the now-dead WHS 2011 (in my case, it's actually both).

I have iTunes 11 (x64, of course) playing my Journey playlist (the "Greatest Hits" CD) while doing a reconfiguration of a Windows 7 Ultimate VM in Hyper-V VM. (Yes. At the same time. And this is on a Q6600 with but 4GB of RAM.)

It would be nice if it would match with the appstore icon, but it's not matching! (The white icon in the middle don't have the same border) Shame...

App Store and iTunes icons did match before iTunes 11. Expect the App Store icon to change as well in a future OS X version.

Not bad on Win7x64. Two issues: 1) in order to do ANYTHING productive you have to turn on the menu bar via the top left. Thought they got rid of being able to hide music in the cloud but it is under that menu. 2) not being able to resize thumbnails is a pain in the ass.

I'll have to try it on my MBP later.

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
