I hope they fixed the “I will now delete your song without telling you first” problem.
Really Really annoying stuff!
Cool, so I upgrade to iTunes 8.1 and suddenly I have ANOTHER bloody browser on my computer that I’m never going to use. Apple force an install of Safari with the 8.1 update? What a joke, and a pain in the ass….
Hopefully I can uninstall it, unlike that stupid POS IE7 I’m stuck with.
umm Jamie Apple didn’t force you to get safari on your computer. It’s just that you were dumb enough to not de-click the safari install on the apple update program. So don’t complain on here just because you were incompetent.
