Vista kills IPods

[HeyBub]

"IPods could be damaged by Microsoft's new computer operating system...

"Apple, the long-standing rival of Bill Gates's Microsoft, is urging users
not to upgrade their PCs to the Vista system until it comes up with a
compatible version of the software that runs iPods."

'Bout damn time Micros~1 fought back.

Interesting. I talked with one of Apple's Ipod managers the other day.
He's running Vista on his Mac at work and Vista on his PCs at home. I
haven't had a problem with it on any build of Vista since the delivery room
build in 7/05. I'm putting some more tunes on it now from Vista. I
wouldn't attach any credibility to this urban legend of Vista Ipod
conflicts. Several people in my hood have been doing the same thing with
Vista builds.

One tip though that could help, is that when you dock the IPod to the box,
switch the Ipod to Manual and Disk mode, and then switch the drive letter of
the Ipod or Nano to one away from C-I. This helps some people with Vista
or XP when they can't get the Ipod recognized at Computer or My Computer or
Disk Management.

The reason for this is Drives C-I are reserved to recognized devices, and
sometimes an external drive with its own power supply--an Ipod or even the
Nano which is a battery powered flash drive that will be seen as a USB
device .

I think if you're avoiding Vista to use an Ipod, there is no reason
whatsoever or avoiding an Ipod to use Vista whichever. They work great for
me together. Vista has it's problems, but ipod isn't one of them I
consider.

Good luck,
