Says the person running iTunes on Windows. iTunes on OSX (at least, the latest version) is fantastic. It's zippy, it's easy to find things, iTunes Match ensures all my music is everywhere I am, and the new (beta) iTunes Radio service kicks all manner of ass. If you are on a Mac, nothing else comes close to iTunes.

Nothing else has AirPlay, right? I'm content to fire up iTunes only when I want to sync my iPhone, but AirPlay really is the bees knees in my living room, anyway.

Option 1: Assume the guy was joking.
Option 2: Ask if the guy was joking.
Option 3: Call him an idiot.

Great choice.

Is not impressed.

I'm not belittling you but you don't know what you're talking about. I have an interest in archaeology and I studied it in college but I would never read an article about it and reply as though I was an expert.
