Well, the only problem I have with the new version is the memory hog. And still it’s not too much for me, about 40-50, enough to slow the system down but still more lightweight than my Firefox with a ton of tabs opened (e.g. when I go through my blogroll). I guess it differs from systems to systems.

I think that the new features look really nice (at least, some Mac-grade sexiness in my PC) and are very useful, but yes, there is a memory problem.

Let’s see what they come up with.

P.S. All in all, I won’t condemn Apple just because of a faulty iTunes release. Let’s give them some time.

People, it tanks my CPU just by downloading podcasts. I have screenshots on my blog to prove it.

Excuses like “it’ll work better in the next iteration” are unacceptable when they come from Microsoft and guess what, they are still uncacceptable when they come from Apple. At least Microsoft calls it’s software beta for some time before the official release.

When Apple roles something out, you always expect it to look top-notch. iTunes 7 definitely fits that category.
