speaking of 64-bit iTunes... does it piss anyone else off that iTunes 9 only comes in a 32-bit flavor for Snow Leopard?? #windows7

@Sir Gibler: Yes, but that's because it's still in Carbon.

Which pisses me off even more.

@Sir Gibler: It is quite annoying, just imagine how much faster iTunes would run in 64-bit. That is, until Apple loads it down with even more crap most people don't use. #windows7

@Thee Sea: Think it's mainly because they are porting a majority of the code from OS X to PC. #windows7

@Norbs: Absolutely WRONG.

Both the windows and OSX versions of iTunes run a LOT of debug foiling code that has to actively run in the background. It also keeps a lot of checks in place that run alongside these. The purpose of this is to keep people from reverse engineering a lot of what iTunes does and leads to slowdown on both systems.

I've ported code between Windows and OSX both ways many times. It's not exactly a complicated proposition. iTunes is slow because Apple is doing things that make it slow. #windows7

@Thee Sea: Alright well thanks for that I wasn't aware of it.

My biggest annoyance with iTunes in windows is all the bloat it installs (extra services and quicktime). I have installed it without all that stuff and it is a bit better but still slow, but I don't have much to complain about the OS X version. #windows7
