Microsoft finally issues iPod update for Windows Vista
So iPod owners who upgraded to Windows Vista earlier this year might have had some minor issues -- like all the data on their iPod becoming corrupted and unplayable.Apple's answer was to suggest iPod users not use Windows Vista. It seemed like a bit of a stretch to expect people to make their operating system choices based on their portable music device, but there you go. Well, if you've been holding of on upgrading your operating system, your wait is finally over. Microsoft has released an update that it says will solve the incompatibility problems.
If your data has already been corrupted, Microsoft suggests selecting the iPod in iTunes, clicking on the Summary Tab, and then clicking Restore. Apple recommends using Mac OS X instead of Vista.

I recommend using a standards compliant music player than works as a usb drive.

I agree with gfhfghfgh, and I'd like to add that Apple should stop blaming their problems on other companies. E.g. it's not our fault iPods came equipped with Windows viri, we blame MS!

Microsoft... responding to it's customers demands.... like an actual company.
Mac... forcing their ways on people that like them... like a cult.

Finally huh? Now Microsoft has to fix other peoples problems? Well they have been doing it for years, I have a shuttle mobo that the bios incorrectly handles the P4 hyper threading, but shuttle just claims that the mobo doesn't officially support the processor so they never fixed it. But after receiving complaints Microsoft did. Now I can use my computer correctly because of MS. Damn that evil company.
