I really like Macs in general, but iTunes on Windows drives me batty. Not only does it install all the Quicktime garbage, it also sets up a resident service to watch for iPods (um, no, I connect mine to my Mac, thanks) and changes file associations, and starts all the Quicktime crud every time I boot the computer, and...
And this is supposed to be one of those programs that shows how nice Macs are to work with, instead you get this near mal-ware bloated piece of... bah!
Of course I also had significant issues with iTunes on Windows seeing my music library on my Mac. I'd be playing streaming music, and all of a sudden iTunes would forget where the music was coming from. Refuse to see my Mac's library, blah blah blah. Rebooting Windows would solve the problem... for a while.
