iTunes for Windows?

Steve Jobs said iTunes for Windows would be released by the end of the year. That's a long time to wait, but I think it will be worth it. I would love to be able to listen to a stream of my Mac at home from my PC at work through iTunes.

I don't really understand what iTunes is about, but if you're just talking about streaming tracks from your Mac then there's no reason why you couldn't easily do that now with a web-server on the Mac and a copy of winamp on the PC.

Sorry to disapoint you but:
Why would I install Windows Media Player? HELLO!!! WMP sucks! If it was _good_ I might install it, "Microsoft hatred" or not. Xine is better - always will be.
Yes I would install Internet Explorer... excuse me for a minute will I add this rider:ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!
:D :D :D
What kind of moron would voluntarily install Internet Explorer! I mean it's what, only the worst browser ever? Even a die hard Windows fanatic like you would have to admit that IE sucks cheese, and sucks cheese well. Come on, IE!
MS Office. Hmm. This one might actually get installed... IF it was faster, IF it wasn't so bloated and IF the paper clip was permanently removed and IF the "for kids" look was removed and IF I could be sure that everyone would be able to read my documents and IF I didnt have to upgrade the thing every year to keep on understanding other peoples documents.
Lets face it, Microsoft software sucks. The reason why they dont make Linux versions is because not enough Linux users would be stupid enough to use them!
Faust:
IF windows media player is so good then why does EVERYONE use winamp?
Oh and if IE is so good maybe you would like to click on some of the links around here... the ones that give you a free cup holder. :D

EVERYONE don't use Winamp. I used to use Winamp back in the day....but Windows Media Player 9 is so damn good that I won't ever go back to Winamp. The taskbar player, the interface, the full screen scroll off video controls, the Tru-Bassand WoW Effects on top of the equalizer, the ability to recover everything about the album of the song you are listening to(icluding album art), the ability to quickly, easily and reliably burn CD's from the media player(can burn from WMA, MP3, Wav and Ogg(with the appropriate plugin), the online music store(like iTunes), the visualizations support, the Plus Speaker Enhancements, etc. are more than enough for WMP to beat out Winamp hands down.
Look at the results from this poll.

It looks like there are more WMP users than Winamp users there. Am I surprised? No...not at all. Winamp is just primative(as is Mplayer, Xine, etc.).

Oh, did I forget to mention that WMP 9 can burn CD's in Sonys' HighMAT CD filesystem? Not many media players or CD Burining apps(that I know of) can burn in HighMAT.
