Also Microsoft does not force updates to Windows 7 but it did to me today.
Apple knows their software like Microsoft is making changes to your pc and files without your permission.
I have auto updates turned off. My pc got slower and slower today while I was doing some work making webpages (hobby) and photos and text files would take about a minute to open. I suspected my anti virus but when I restarted the pc it was a Windows update.
iTunes is clunky looking. The search box is way too small.
Nice that it syncs your iPhone but you best have the latest version of iTunes or you will be out of luck.
I just love how you non-Apple users are always telling us how our Apple gear works. . . when you really don't have a clue.
