Uneasy Rhetoric

I just left some feedback for Apple. It goes like this:
— — — —
Count me in as another one who can’t get iTunes 4.7 to install on Windows XP Home SP2. I’ve read that uninstalling XPSP2, installing 4.7 and then reinstalling SP2 will work. This is unacceptable. My computer is critical to my work and I’ve had enough bad experiences in the past with trying to roll back windows service packs.

I hope that Apple will fix this problem very quickly. I prefer iTunes to the other online music stores I’ve tried, but if I have to spend hours tweaking my computer just to get iTunes to work, when there are other options available, then I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Thank you for your time.

It gets worse. I can’t roll back to iTunes 4.6 either. It won’t install under SP2. I expect software to be buggy, but SP2 has been around long enough that Apple should have made 4.7 work with it before they released it for Windows.

And I really do like iTunes. I like the store and I like the player. I used it a lot. Fortunately, I still have a copy of Quintessential Player on my system (I gave up on Winamp a long time ago).
