heheh....itunes for windows is kind of a joke. i've heard really bad things about it so far, maybe they've fixed it, but...meh.
i actually enjoy windows XPpro. if you have a firewall, and don't use outlook expressdeath, you don't really need the security patches. i haven't had any problems anyway.
i'm a little worried since my subscription for NAV virus update ran out this week. i should...uh...do something about that.
