Thankyou for the update Script Kiddie.

I read in another article today that some people predict Napster to be a dominant e-music store. I personally feel that iTunes Music Store has a great structure and will be an industry leader. I just hope that the PeeCee users will abandon windows media files and give iTunes a try.

My 2 cents.

stand_1998 - A lot of people who tried out iTunes have loved it and praised it on their Longhorn sites.

Script Kiddie - I know that the one million iTunes downloads aren't only Windows users, as I've downloaded iTunes for Windows 3 times myself. (1 for work PC, 1 for Mom's PC networked with our Mac, and 1 for my friend). The selling 1 million songs however I think should have been stressed more as that shows that users are actually using the service.
