Notice how peevish the WFBs get as MS's market share slips away.

Apple's iTunes 8 has some interesting side effects.  It causes a BSOD on
Vista:

Old news. Corrected version is out.

So much for Vista's protected mode computing.

The problem, as I understand it, is a driver that Apple supplied. 
Drivers tend to run at kernel level. It would be nice to isolate 
drivers, but it's kinda the nature of the beast that a driver brings 
down the whole OS.

Yawn... predictable...

drivers, but it's kinda the nature of the beast that a driver brings 
down the whole OS.

AND... AND... the driver gets downloaded for you automatically because
MS, I mean Apple has decided you want it.  Maybe they could prompt you,
Hey...we've got this really cool driver you might want to download.
Would you like us to do that? or Hey...we've got this really cool
driver you might want to download.  There's a good chance it'll make
your system vomburp.

But it's okay because Apple's becoming equal opportunity.  Apparently
it's also caused problems for owners of Airport Express routers.  

Me?  I'd rather not have drivers I don't need installed for me.  I don't
even own an iPod (horrors I know) or an iPhone (yes, it's true!)

Real ever was, which I've had similar bad luck with.

You really need to get someone to write you a new script.
