packman 0 Posted October 25, 2006 A friend of mine, a Mac user, has emplored me to download and use iTunes on my Win2K PC. I don't doubt the usefulness of iTunes for music downloads but I've reservations about its compatibility with my operating system and with certain of my drivers and applications. Does iTunes have a clean bill of health in that regard, when applied to Windows machines? A couple of things in particular concern me. I'm given to understand that iTunes auitomatically embodies Microsoft.Net Redistr. If that's the case, then my graphics driver will definitely be incompatible, as my graphics driver is one that's specifically designed to perform without Microsoft.Net. The other concern is Quicktime, which I gather is also installed by iTunes by default and which is necessary for certain video streaming. I thought I read some time ago of some dire problems with Quicktime on Windows machines. Were these unfounded? I've a perfectly good Windows Media Player, incidentally, and wouldn't want that to be screwed up in any way. Any idea of the total size of iTunes? Is it several hundred MB?
