iTunes Does Not Work On Windows Vista

Dec. 12, 2007: I just replaced my ATI graphics card with an inexpensive NVidia 8500GT, updated the drivers, and installed the latest DirectX, and that resolved most of my problems. Your mileage may vary.

Update: iTunes 7.1 has been released, but does not appears to fix the UI crashing problems.

Update 2: None of the iTunes releases, including 7.3, have improved the crashing of iTunes.

But, if you want to read the rest of this, feel free:

The CD-RW driver in iTunes doesn’t appear to work right, so trying to burn anything will result in an instant crash. Also, letting iTunes stay open for more than about a minute results in Aero freaking out.

Microsoft Windows Vista is not supported by Apple, so I guess I’m stuck now. I mean, Apple only had a couple years of Vista betas to get this working, apparently that’s not enough time. Just more proof that I need to get away from iTunes and the restrictive DRM.
