"Group Policy Service & Permission Problems" I Will Never Buy Microsoft Windows Computers Again..

I am trying to get some last bit of use out of my Worthless Microsoft Windows Software.. I have spent more time attempting to make this worthless junk work, than I ever get using the computer for what it is designed for.. Both My Windows 7 Pro,
and my Windows 8.1 are the worst products Microsoft has come out with ever.. I started out using Punch Card Machines, in the 70's that worked better than the junk Microsoft is selling us today.. The last 13 computers I have purchased with Windows software
are all in the dumpster. Their tech support is worthless, and half the time you get sent from one phone number to another, and no one knows anything.. I have purchased two sets of software from Microsoft store that have turned out to be Non-Genuine, I paid
full price for, have receipts of sales, dates, validation key numbers, and still spend three days in a row trying to explain to the other end that my software they sold me is shit, and no one understands.. And on top of that will not give me a e-mail address
to send them a copy of the proof of purchase to them for my file, and to prove to them they are selling shit, and they will not give me a address to send them their problems plagued software.. I have three sets of software that i downloaded,
and had disk sent as backups that have bad validation keys, and Microsoft will not honer their sales, and will not give me keys that work..
If it dose finally work, I can not get the "Diagnostic Policy Service" to start, this online troubleshooting will not work, never has worked on windows 8, nor have I ever had any sound on the same computer, nor has my Windows Media
Player ever worked either.. Both Win 7 Pro, and Win 8.1 Group Policy will not let me download anything on the C-drive that can possibly repair what is wrong with the Crap at hand, Their my computers, but I have no permission to do a goddamn thing to repair
what is wrong with it,,I do not want to read another fucking article on tech shit, I want to know how to delete "Group Policy" from every machine I have, because its only purpose I see it to keep me from using my machine , and forcing me to have
to sit on hold and listen to those idiots on the other end just say its another 99 bucks to fix something that I have already given them 99 bucks several times before to fix nothing.. WTF, I was never a fan of Bill Gates, but today he looks like a genius compared
to who/what is working there today.. Dose this happen to everyone, or am I just jinxed? Can someone give me a patch or something besides another article to make this shit work.. Thanks, Barnstormer2790

Wouldn't think anyone wants to help you at all with that attitude - Microsoft products work just great for me.
perhaps you should look closer to home for the issues you have!! Im Out!!!!

I will never buy another HP Product Again!

I tried to get some help with an issue that I have been having and could not decide where the issue fit best so I posted it over multiple areas ... NOT to SPAM, but because it did not fit into anyone area ... here it is listed below;
I have a HP Pavilion a6152n PC purchased in Sept. 07, running 32 bit Vista
For a while my web cam worked fine, but now, while I can see the web cam, those on-line using such services any Skype and Yahoo. can NOT.
The audio continues work fine and CAN be heard by the other party ... the problem is with the video.
I even bought a new web cam thinking maybe it was a problem with the cam, but the same problem repeats on THREE different web cams, one microsoft and two Logitech, so if must be some kind of software(hardware) problem with the computer.
I am hoping it is an easy fix ... I just have no idea what it is, Please help!
Thanks so much and have a good day!
Not one area ... could be hardware, could be software, could be 'other' ... I wanted to get as many eyes as I could so maybe someone would have a solution.
No solutions from HP ... just my posts locked.
That is NOT the kind of customer support that I deserve and I will be taking my future business to other providers.
My suggestion is that HP have both more help and more respect for its clientele.
Thank you for reading this!

I have had problems with HP from day one and HP would not-could not solve my problem so I lived with it for several years. After intensive searching for help from HP, I took my HP products off line and bought a Brother AIO and booted it up and guess what....IT WORKED PERFECTLY the first time. It finally scanned to Word and I could edit my files. NEVER could do that wtih the HP G85 AIO which was very expensive and the HP 2400 PhotoJet which was expensive at the time. Not only would HP refuse to help me solve the problems with my AIOs, HP wanted money UPFRONT just to ascertain what might be the problem. I have had my home office setup for consulting but was limited as to what I could do with the HP products but now I am certain that with the Brother, I can do all I need to make clients happy and bring in an income. I, too, will never buy another HP product again. And by the way, Wendy, get the hell off the forum....you are an HP employer and are as useless as your products. You should be solving our problems with your products rather than talking gibberish.

WILL NEVER BUY AN HP PRODUCT AGAIN!

I am incredibly unsatisfied with HP. I bought my laptop (a dv7 4077cl) from Sam's Club a little over a year ago (in October of 2010), and over Thanksgiving the heat sink and fan assembly began to go bad. I am in graduate school right now, so I let it go until finals week was over, and then took it home to see about getting it fixed. After having tried Staples, Best Buy, and various computer stores to find a replacement heat sink/fan assembly, but couldn't. So, I decided to try and call HP directly in order to get a replacement part, therefore I could fix it myself and save myself the $250+ they would charge me to fix it. First, the computer service technician told me they would need to replace the entire motherboard, which is blatantly untrue. Then, we called back and were told that those parts were not available for customers to purchase (however, hard drives, moniters, etc. were). I asked if I were to take it to a computer store, if they could get the part, and the representitive at HP stated that no, the only way to fix my laptop was to go through them directly. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS that a) my laptop has hardware that goes bad after just over a year of use and that b) the only place we can get the part is through HP, for a crazy amount of money. My family has bought roughly 6 or 7 computers from HP, as well as family friends, and after this experience I will never EVER buy another HP laptop again. I will also tell every single person I know about this experience and urge them not to purchase an HP laptop. This experience has been way more of a headache than it needs to be, and I can not believe the amount of trouble this has caused over a small part that needs to be replaced. If you are considering buying a laptop, I urge you to reconsider and purchase a Dell or a Mac, because HP clearly does not stand behind their products.

Dont feel bad.
I tried contacting HP service today about an issue I'm having with a Lap Top I purchased for my son last Christmas. The display has taken a dump and now the Hard Drive has crashed. I called a month ago. First I get that the Lap Top was out of warranty... I pourchased it on 11/26/2010 and they toldf me the warranty had expired ion July. I was told I needed to send in proof of purchase to verify the warranty period, but never recieved the email they claim to have sent. Now its really out of warranty and they wont help! I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told NO! can you beleive it! NO! if I wanted to have my lap top repaired I would have to pay for it! HP SUCKS! I own 5 HP computers 2 HP Printers, and I will Never buy another HP product again! Way to Go HP Customer service at its best!
Happy Holidays!

I WILL NEVER BUY A SAMSUNG PHONE AGAIN. NEVERRRRR......

I have been with VERIZON for so many years now. I am happy with the service they provide. They're pretty good with having signal almost everywhere I go. But this Froyo update for the FASCINATE thing has been going on for so long. It is very upsetting. You read all the post online. Some are good and some really idiotic. Like people defending Verizon, saying Verizon never said anything about giving an update. It was there sales representative... trying to make a sale that made the promise. First of all... these sales representative represent VERIZON. That's why they are representatives. Second, be that as it may that Verizon never said anything about an update... why not post here at your own website and answer our question. It is your own website for goodness sakes... It is your own Verizon community. Just say the word and answer our simple question. Is there going to be an update or not? We deserve better. And by answering our question... we as customer can make our decision whether to drop the SAMSUNG brand altogether or if we should go to another network.
Alot has been said that it is taking awhile because of all the bloatware that Verizon is trying to put on the phone. I don't really care about that technical stuff. Just be honest with us and tell us if there is going to be an update or not.
I do think Fascinate is an OK phone. Another not so intelligent customer said that we should be happy since the Fascinate is doing a good job because it is working as it is suppose to when we can receive and send text and phone calls. If that is all I wanted I wouldn't get a smartphone. I would have bought a dumbphone which is a lot cheaper. We us customers are not asking alot. Just a little bit of honesty
Updates are important. In this technological age... alot of the electronic gadgets we have can be updated quite easily. If Samsung's hardware and there software can't be updated... that's fine with me. At least I will know and when I do purchase another smartphone... I will know for sure to scratch this on the list.
To those customers who are disappointed... spread the word. Good thing about technology is we can tell everyone how we feel about a product. Tell your friends. I'm not sure who to blame is whether it's VERIZON or SAMSUNG... but verizon on their own website are keeping us hanging. Being a good paying customer I think I deserve better. I hope Verizon remembers that we are not just numbers... we are people who deserve better.

Maybe it is enough for defending the big corporates and look at this problem from consumer point of view. WE'RE ALL BEING LIED TO!
Enough is kissing Verizon and Samsung {word filter avoidance}, they won't cut you any good deal only because you are defending them.
fixed.
and I'm not kissing anything, you need to look at all the factors, instead of just complaining.
1. there are a LOT of differences between the phones in the line.
2. some have touchwiz, others don't, and there are two versions of touchwiz used in the line.
3. manufacturers have taken his long, and longer to release significant updates. and how can people use how long froyo hasbeen out? the phone is only 5 months old. you can't develop an os for a phone and launcer that aren't out, yet.
4. it takes time for them to do testing to make sure the release is stable, and works.
there has been froyo for this phone for weeks. if you have to have it, it's there for the taking.

Never buying another Creative product again

To anyone at Creative who might be reading this,
I recently submitted the following question to Creative email support: "When do you plan on releasing updated drivers for the Audigy 2 line which will support Vista and be compatable with the Service Pack installation? (The lack of up to date drivers currently prohibitsupgrading to SP according to Microsoft) Thank you."
In return, I received the email below. As a long time supporter of your company, I'd like your team at Creative to know that this canned, non-reply pretty much guarantees that I will never buy another Creative product again. The notion that a simple email query can't be answered if it's more than a year after the purchase date is laughable. Especially when it's related to your company failing to keep up to date with the roll-out of one of the most common operating systems in the world.
Thank you for so clearly indicating the little regard with which you hold your customers.

Looks to me like they gave you very good advice and places to look to solve your problem yourself.
Please suggest to us how you would resolve this problem with any of those resources? This is a known compatibility problem between Audigy series soundcards (amongst others) which can only be resolved with updated drivers which have not been written yet. It affects both recently purchased cards and older ones. In the future, I would suggest becoming more familiar with the problem before jumping in with comments (also reading the original post helps).

The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused th e Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly.

Hi all,
Having an issue with the shortcuts Group Policy extension applying to our Windows 7 machines. It was working until last Wednesday and since then users get a Group Policy Client service error when logging in.
We have narrowed it down to the shortcuts extension, if the extension is disabled then a user can log in, if enabled and empty then the following error comes up. With all the investigation we have done so far it seems as though something on the client is
making this happen.
We have –
Copied the original policy
Exported and imported the policy
Deleted all the shortcuts
Deleted all the shortcuts and created a brand new shortcut
And the same thing happens. Only if you right click on the Shortcut Extension and select disable then the user can log in
When running Gpupdate /force we get the following error
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused the Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly. To prevent further failures inthe
Group Policy Service, this extension has been temporarily disabled until after the next system restart. Group Policy settings managed by this extension may no
longer be enforced until the system is restarted. The vendor of this extension should be contacted if this issue recurs.

Hi Dejul,
How is the issue going? Does this issue happen to all Windows 7 clients? I am not sure this can be helpful but we can give it a try to install the following hotfix.
Some Group Policy preferences are not applied successfully on computers that are running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979731
Besides, please make sure that our clients are patched or updated to the latest.
An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

I will NEVER buy a Thinkpad again :-(

So I opened my briefcase this morning and took out my Thinkpad T61p.
It was warm, which worried me - it has always run very hot and it doesn't seem to shut down all the time when I close it. (note: with Win 7 my other one does).
So I opened it up and the screen was black on half of it, garbled on the other half and had a "crack" down the middle of it.
I called tech support. What they told me made me decide I will never buy another Thinkpad again (15 year devoted customer here who loved Thinkpads).
They said:
- You must have dropped it. It is NOT covered under warranty. i.e. You are lying.
- You can send it to us to fix it. You must give us your credit card number and pre-approve a $950 charge to replace the screen.
I told them that for less than $750 I could buy an entire new Thinkpad with an equivalent monitor and that this was ridiculous. They escalated it and supposedly Lenovo will call me (there is a prior deal between IBM and Lenovo setting prices for this) within two days.
I checked prices locally for replacing monitors - it is $179 for parts and labor.
Lenovo has ruined the Thinkpad brand.
I doubt they will call me within 2 days. Prior to this any time I had a hardware problem they were great - that is why I have purchased 8 Thinkpads in the last 15 years.
This is a lesson in how to lose a long-term customer who was completely loyal.
Note from Moderator: A comment which violated the forum rules was removed.

Did you put a switched on laptop in your carry case? Also if you have a cracked LCD, there is little chance that it will be covered under warranty unless you have accidental protection warranty, no laptop company covers LCD cracks in their laptop on standard warranty term, whether it is IBM or Lenovo.
With the full magnesium rollcage, it would take a large force to actually crack the LCD. It is a standard policy to charge customer a service fee of around 500 to 750 dollars when the company suspects there is user damage to their laptop. It is a policy from IBM days.

Why I will never buy another HP Laptop

So I guess I'll try Dell next, but unfortunately I still have to struggle with this hunk-o-junk I bought from HP for at least another year.
Model: HP Pavilion dv8 1103TX
I've had so many issues, especially after 2 years, it's like HP designed the thing to start breaking after 2-years of 8hours/day usage.
Problems include:
Quick-Launch Keys that have a mind of their own (rendering my wifi & bluetooth useless, since the keys switch them on/off at random) Took the laptop to the HP repair centre for this problem on the last day of it's warranty, and they ended up replacing the wrong part. (The speaker cover, instead of the Quick-Launch Keys) After that my laptop was out of warranty and they refused to take it again without me paying for the repairs. The quick-launch button issue continues.
Charger issues - this is the one problem I've ALWAYS had with all my HP's, their chargers die after 2 years, like clockwork, like it was designed to do so, 4 co-workers/family got HP's more or less the same time as I did and we all started shopping for replacements chargers at the same time.
Endless other related power issues - The laptop would be charging but not know it, thinking it's running on battery, forcing me to change all my power schemes so that the system performance isn't affected. And when the laptop is charging, don't dare disconnect it, because it will not resume charging easily. (Note that this still happens at random even after replacing the battery and the charger)
Finger-print reader - Must be disabled else SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) is unstable as hell and crashes for every second query you run. Too random? That's what I thought but Google it to check me up. Once I disabled the finger-print reader, SSMS worked like a charm.
Don't ever, EVER, buy HP Laptops!

I, too, will never buy another HP. I have had 3 laptops in 7 years. My first was a dell and it worked well, but the harddrives crashed. I switched to HP mainly due to high ratings from Consumer Reports. It worked well for two years then I began to have problems on boot up. I decided to replace it before it crashed or further deteriorated. That's when I purchased my G-70 in fall of 2008. I have been pleased with the product, but am dismayed to know HP had knowledge of issues with its hinges. I, unfortunately, didn't know this until I began to experience the problem with my hinges and did a bit of research. I was even more dismayed to know the problem with my first HP was due bad motherboards and heat issues. I was never informed of the motherboard problem and subsequently missed the deadline to have my computer repaired. These are the reasons I am no longer a loyal HP customer

HT201611 probably will never rent anything from itunes again. I rented a movie on iphone but cannot watch it on my ipad or macbook. this is ridiculous..and i am dissapointed. and the 2 days expiration is another absurd thing. again, dissapointed.

probably will never rent anything from itunes again. I rented a movie on iphone but cannot watch it on my ipad or macbook. this is ridiculous..i am very disappointed. and the 2 days expiration is another absurd thing. bc i typically dont have the time to watch a 1 hour and 30 minutes movie but will watch a little every morning for a week to finish. this 2 day expiration force me to waste my time watching the movie. very, very dissapointed. next time ill rent from google. this kind of mistake should not be made by apple.

Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

Group Policy Service Access denied

Hi,
i had a working Azure RemoteApp deployment with custom image.
From one day to another the users couldn't login any more with the attached Error Message (German), saying the access is denied because of an error logging in at the Group Policy Client Service.
That's the second time I get this error in an RemoteApp deployment which was working for weeks before.
I hope somebody has a quick answer as I have a customer presentation tomorow on this system.
Thanks
Bernd

Hi Bernd, if you're getting an error message like that which isn't very useful then you'll need to seek assistance from Azure Support (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/).
They have a process for seeing what's going on in the backend of our service for your Azure subscription and escalating to the right people as needed. This will both get you unblocked and help us determine where we might have bugs or can at least provide better
error messages. That said, given you're looking for a quick fix, it looks like there are a bunch of suggestions online for how to fix this error message (e.g.

I am so frustrated! It may be a coincidence, but when I installed Mountain Lion, upon syncing, 1st Gen Apple Tv went into a boot loop, and apple will do nothing to help with it. What can I do? If not fixed, will NEVER buy qp another product from them ag

Never done this before. My Apple TV was perfect until I installed Mountain Lion. Upon syncing my Apple tv, it mysteriously rebooted, asking me language and tv type. Then the Apple comes on, flashing light, and back to language. Apple said hey no longer support it, though it is not very old. Wasted $399. I had ips 180 g almost full of movies, pics, etc. that are now gone. What can I do? Very unhappy with Apple, now.

You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, it includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Or you can download a free copy of LibreOffice which contains substitutes (good ones) for the Microsoft Office programs.
Do not even think of using Boot Camp unless you have a complete and current TM backup or a clone to restore if it goes wrong. You will also need to buy Windows and Microsoft Office for it. And you MUST read the directions very carefully.

What will be the Microsoft(Windows) future?

Hi Everyone,
I totally agree Microsoft is a Pioneer in OS i.e Windows. It was having a stable Windows XP/7 Operating System. But in recent years they came up with the Metro
Design that is Windows 8(Windows RT), the people started moving away from Windows as it was a bit confusing to use and of course nothing much to explore probably
because of less applications in the store. I feel the Win 8/8.1 looks OK with the tablet but didn't see this in many hands.
Similarly the Windows phone, the phone looks cool in the first sight and after buying it people may feel that there is nothing much to explore and everything kept
very simple, very less number of applications in the Windows Phone Store too.
I think the users are somewhat OK with Windows Phone but not at all with Windows Metro Desktop.
Last year it came with up with Windows Universal concept in Windows 8.1 where a developer using VS 2013 we can develop Single application for both Phone and Desktop/Tablet.
The Windows Phone Silverlight took off and Windows Phone RT came into picture to keep common set of libraries for both. But I see people still
comfortably using Windows Phone 8 for development as it has powerful set of libraries and they don't have plan to port it to Desktop Metro.
Again this year Microsoft announced the release of Windows 10 where with respect to development one application without any modification runs on phone and
dektop/tab and with respect to user the Metro Template in Windows 10 has put into a small corner and the Windows 7 kind of look and feel is back.
So my question is if they are reducing the Windows Metro look and feel in Windows 10 why they are providing so much updates for Universal App Development and
cutting off the updates for Non Metro application development.
Please take this upfront in the forum and experts can give suggestions for the Windows Phone/Metro/Desktop(Non Metro) Developer what is our future and give us
the right way to enhance. And also let the users know what they can expect from Windows Phone/Desktop in future.
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Thanks,
Thanks and Regards Sunil Kumar S C

Hi Sunil Kumar S C,
Thank you for your suggestion.
Our forum is WPF development forum. We only provide support for the development of WPF technology.
In my personal opinion, the windows future will be better. You would see the market share of win8/wp8/win8.1/wp8.1/win10 is up. More and more developers will build apps for win10.
In recent months, the new CEO Satya Nadella proposed “mobile first, cloud first”, Microsoft has launched a series of products. Such as Surface Pro 3, office for iphone, ipad and android. Even the mobile version of office is free editor for user.
In other words, in addition to windows, office and Azure cloud services are for users who do not use the windows device. So I think the windows future will be better.
About “the Microsoft(Windows) future”, I suggest that you could focus on “Build2015” next week.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Xavier Eoro

Dear Adobe. Your useless customer service is why I will never choose to purchase another Adobe product. For $200, I get to read tons of other users questions, Yay!

Last time I try your "help"

Since this is the only message you have in your history it appears to be the first time you ever tried to get help thru the forums. You should try posting a question that explains your problem so that someone might be able to offer help.

I will never complain about Creative products again...long story

Two days ago I was a winy little #$%&* complaining about what my Zen Touch didn't do. It didn't support Audible, it didn't support Janus, has few accessories, blah, blah, blah. Then, it didn't do anything...it broke. So, in my infinite wisdom, I decided that I would get a replacement. I had always looked for something a little smaller, a little sleeker, and not an iPod (that's another story altogether). I didn't go out and just grab what looked good on the shelf...no, I had my priorities. Battery life is important, almost more so than features. I looked up several candidates
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr>
Zen Touch - 40Gb - 24 hour battery
Sony Network Walkman HD05 - 20Gb - 40 hour battery
iRi'ver (insert model here) - 20Gb - 6 hour battery (or was it 2)
Apple iPod Photo - 60Gb - 2 hour battery
Zen XTra - 60Gb - I don't remember the battery life[/quote]
At the time, I didn't even consider a 5Gb player because I was distraught. I had just lost something that, until that morning, was just another thing that I took everywhere with me. I didn't realize the gaping hole that its loss would create.
After reading some reviews, I settled on the Sony player. It's small, it's slick, ZDNet gave it a sweet review with the only real bad points being the software (Sonic Stage) and the only available music service (Sony Connect) and it's got a 40 hour battery. I got this beautiful piece of audio hardware back to the office and quickly downloaded some tunes from EMusic (excellent bit rates...better than ANY download service period...if you like independent labels), loaded SonicStage and dumped the songs on the player. At first I thought, "SonicStage is a little slow...", but I had no idea what I was in for. I played the device and noticed...the sound...a little tinny. So what! I'll mess with the EQ later! I have a 40 hour removable battery! I also noted, that you can't build playlists on the fly. They had a "Bookmark" feature, but the only way to add songs to a bookmark was if the song was currently playing. I missed "Add to selected" but hell, it's got a 40 hour battery. I got the beast home, installed SonicStage on my PC and pointed it to my music library of some 5000 songs. SonicStage didn't like the fact that my library was on a network dri've (I have a Buffalo LinkStation that has nothing but media on it.) It began the import and after 2 hours of lots of blinking lights on my router asked me if I wanted to copy the files to my local hard disk. Of course not! That's what I bought the link station for! Creative doesn't have a problem with this! Why was Sony concerned? I told it "No!" After about another hour of activity, It showed me that it had begun importing the files. Four hours later it was done. Seven hours total to import my files? No problem, I have a 40 hour BATTERY! I then, sleepily as it was 2:30 in the morning, began to copy music to the device. Since I had also done this at work, the software said that I couldn't put any files from another computer onto the device. I had to delete the songs on the device and register my home computer. Fine, the songs are still in my library. I deleted the files, the hourglass appeared...and stayed... Thirty minutes later...the hourglass...what the #$%&! Now, I was told ahead of time that I would absolutely hate the software by a friend that owns a newer MiniDisc player. I have a faster computer than him so I thought it would be different: it wasn't. I have a great deal of tolerance for computers because I am a computer programmer and technician. I could not deal with this...this THING had to go.
Today, I returned the Sony THING and gave myself till lunch to think about buying a new player. I came to the following conclusion. My Zen Touch will get fixed. I will use my Zen Touch until it completely dies. I like Creative's Zen Explorer...it's small, fast, and integrated into Windows. I like being able to queue up exactly what I want to play on the fly. Sony's didn't offer any of that. The Zen Touch may be a little fat, a little old (technology ages quickly), but the Touch really does nearly everything I wanted and does it well. Sony didn't even come close...it was just a pretty face, a slim design, and a bad personality. From what I can tell, Sony designed it's software for smaller players and smaller libraries. To me it doesn't seem to keep in mind, that I may not want to play everything by one artist or genre. It doesn't allow me to play an album, queue up another, and another...it allows that functionality on the song level through it's bookmarks. From what I hear the iPod is similar, but since I have no experience with the iPod, I cannot comment (If it is I'll add that to my reasons not to buy an iPod).
At lunch, I returned to Fry's (my 4th time in 2 days) and went looking. I picked up a 5Gb iRi'ver, then a Rio Carbon. I stopped... I was doing it again. Creative players had been good to me... I didn't need another big player...just a small player I could use as a backup...the Touch would be fixed! I then picked up a Zen Micro and didn't turn back. Perhaps my comfort level with the Creative devices is just way to high. Perhaps the Sony software just shocked me. Whatever it was; unless I can see how a player works and how the software reacts, I think Creative will always get first consideration when choosing a new device.

iTunes only works on two platforms, so it's hardly some paragon of development.
It's still one supported platform more than any other software, including Creative's Mediasource. This is a paragon of development compared to other MP3 players' software.

The only reason they got it working on Windows was to sell more iPods and tunes from their store.
You say that like it's a bad thing. One wonders why other MP3 player manufacturers haven't done the same thing in return to boost their own sales. There is no MP3 player to compete with the iPod on the Mac because it seems no other manufacturer is able to write compatible software or firmware. Gi'ven that the iPod started on the Mac and really started the MP3 player appeal for the masses, I find it staggering that no other MP3 player software developer even considered writing support for the Macintosh into their own software development plans.

I find the UI for iTunes *awful* so it's not as simple as you make out. Also the UI is hardly Windows compliant.
You may not like the UI for iTunes, but hundreds of thousands of other people love it! I (personally) prefer WMP0, but iTunes is the only other MP3 player management software that even comes close to that. Mediasource is laughable next to iTunes. The iTunes UI may not be windows compliant, but that's hardly a failing. When I referred to compliancy, I mainly meant the firmware (such as UMS support) did not conform to any known standards which meant that the software developers for the management software faced the burden of making it compatible with other (non-Windows) platforms.
