To quote Erik immediately after installing iTunes for Windows:
Erik: I just installed iTunes for Windows.
Erik: argghh.. needs a restart
Erik: brb.
Well, at least it feels a little like a Windows app….

iTunes for Windows
Frank pointed me to MacMinute’s coverage of the Apple event at the Moscone center in San Francisco. It looks like us lowly Windows users will be getting iTunes after all.
I really want to know how the did it on a technical level: how hard the port was, if they used XCode and cross-compiled, or if they ported XCode to win32. What kind of libraries did they have to port over in order to get things to work. How hard would it be to port other Mac-centric apps (like NetNewsWire!) over to the PC?
I’ll be downloading iTunes for Windows as soon as I can get my hands on a link. Frank points out a load-balanced download link. Get ’em while they’re hot!
Talk about a great day!
Update: Russ threw up the first screenshot. I installed it on my laptop but don’t have many MP3’s on it yet and don’t have connectivity at the moment to buy and download new tunes. I can’t wait though!

You can find them at my foo camp gallery.Some personal favorites: My campsite, gadgets galore, Russ’ hand in my picture, and Halo at 37,000 feet.
