but itunes IS apple's trojan horse. NOT the iPod. it is now on a LOT of PC's out there, and being free and getting lots of buzz, it's getting more and more market penetration each day. so they are laying groundwork for whatever they can to entice people to come back and buy the hardware, where the money is.
How about fullscreen Apple infomercials showing tiger, mac mini, iMacs, being present prominently in the iTunes store right in the face of all the iPod using windows users?
How is that for saving an incredible amount of advertising money instead of having TV-ads. I say go trojan with that halo-thing :-)

But do non-Apple geeks look at the Apple website? Apple need to reach out to as many people as possible.
dutch pear dude was talking about that trojan horse, iTUNES, sitting on lots of pee cees now
so PC users would now have free downloadable cool dancing stuff or whatever funky ads for downloading (free!) through the new iTunes 4.8 Music/Video Store sitting right there, maybe on the home page of the iTunes music store
edit: definitely NOT just the dancing ads, but Tiger and Mac Mini and iMac g5 for chrissakes...
Software Update is not working right in Tiger, it doesn't show a new iTunes update...
I agree, both my computers still have not shown the update for 4.8. What is more curious is that I booted up using my old 10.3.9 Panther image and it announced the 4.8 update immediately!
My Tiger installs are not catching the iTunes update.

Nor did mine - it didn't find the DVD PLayer 4.6 either but it did find the Pro tools and that other download. If they release a new update and it's not recognised by Software Update there will be problems!

DVD Player 4.6??????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????
WTH? Neither of my computers have caught that update! I got the Pro Tools update and some codec update today.
How big of a problem is the software update in Tiger???
There's another reason why certain updates don't show up.
Sometimes an update in one area requires that another update be applied first. If that first update hasn't been applied, the newer update, even if it seems to have nothing to do with the previous one, won't show up.
Most of the time this isn't true. But it has hapened often enough over the years.
Anyone know how often iTunes asked you to install the update? I was so excited to just get started playing last night when I was settting up my new Power Mac that I told iTunes to remind me of the update to 4.8 later. I have rebooted a couple of times and shutdown the system last night before going to bed. It still hasn't asked me to update again.

Just go the Apple menu and click software update. If you want to know how often open system preferences and click software update.
Thanks. Unfortunately, the iTunes update is not in System Update yet. iTunes is what told me that there was a new update and asked if I wanted to update the first time that I opened it.

No idea - are you using a Mac? On Windows you can quite easily go to one of the menus and click check for updates.

Yeah, if only we had an automated program to tell us when the fix to the automated program for telling us when fixes are available available!.
