Apple Computer remains on track to deliver a Windows version of its ITunes Music Store by the end of the year, a senior executive confirmed last week.
Apple's director of marketing consumer applications Peter Lowe confirmed the plans in an interview with a top digital-media analyst.
Lowe said: "There is a broad set of stuff that needs to be supported. We are working away at it and are on track to deliver it by the end of the year. Developing Windows software can be a challenge at the best of times, as there are so many configurations of Windows PCs and connectivity peripherals."
A former nuclear safety engineer, Lowe discussed the success of the service: "It has been more successful than we hoped. Some of our music partners hoped for a million sales in the first month. We sold over three million tracks in the first month."
Lowe added that demand for the new IPod has been extremely strong--the company sold 26,000 units through its U.S. retail stores in the first week of release.
