we have 4 ipods in my house. all have different music, all have different libraries. it keeps trying to synch across accounts, making it nigh impossible to add or keep music you want to keep on specific ipods. thats why i dont like it, but i still use it for a lot of stuff. i also dont like that when i burn a playlist to a cd it fades some songs before they are over.

Macintosh branded pc's run windows, osx, linux, and probably more.

A mac is a pc.

A different OS handles EVERYTHING differently.

Linux is also a PC but try running Windows apps on Linux. Emulators work but they slow everything down.

Thats my point ;) People need to compare OSX and Windows, not macs and pcs because a mac is a pc at this point.

Yes, a Mac is a PC, but iTunes runs smoother in OSX than in Windows. The windows version has come a very long way, but the OSX version is still a step better than its Windows counterpart.
