Nice Apple product

Wait for Lsongs from Linspire and forget about emulation!

iTunes is extremely convenient. Seemless interface with iPods and music at the online store

What? Spying on your music listening habits (and your web visits) is not your cup of tea? 50%CPU usage just to play a song on a P-III is not your cup of tea? 10 second startup times is not your cup of tea? Gee! I can't even think of why! I don't WMP much either.

Oops, forgot one....What? You don't like uninformative, non-intuitive, and complicated UI?

I know, I love the looks and quality of the UI, too.

That plus the interface=not exactly my cup of tea , although I'm sure it's a certain William R. Gates the Third's cup of tea.
