Rumors are saying that iTunes Europe will be opened this week. Although I'm in the states but I was wondering if people are looking forward to this. Should be interesting to see the difference in music selection.
Also by the end of June new G5s and iMacs are supposed to be announced at the WWDC. I love how secretive apple is about it's projects. I'll be buying a G5 when they're released. I've been waiting forever! Also they should have some new screens. They'll probably be styled like the G5. Apple design makes me wet.

After the MAC=shit thread I though I'd post this. Found it funny.
Taken from PC world website.
Software: Newcomer of the Year
Apple ITunes
Apple makes Windows apps about as often as Microsoft ships bug-free products, and if ITunes for Windows (free) is any indication, that's a crying shame. The ITunes media player works on PCs the same way it does on Macs, right down to the handy feature that lets you share your music library with other PC or Mac ITunes users on your network. It looks great, it's easy to use, and it has a surprising number of useful features, like the abilities to generate rules-based Smart Playlists and to trim individual tracks.
Meanwhile, Apple's complementary ITunes Music Store (99 cents per track, album prices vary) started the party last year on subscription-free digital tunes, pioneering the 99-cents-per-track model that most online music stores now use. With easy navigation, an impressive exclusive track selection, and such innovative offerings as audiobooks and radio show archives, ITunes Music Store is going strong. Competitors like RealPlayer Music Store made this a tough choice, but it's hard to beat a store that's built into the best media player software around. We do have one major complaint: ITunes tracks are incompatible with digital audio players other than Apple's own IPod. How selfish!

I hope it opens soon. Should be very interesting. Although I'm sceptical about the pricing, i bet it will be 99p per song even though that's almost twice as much as the US store.

heheheh
sorry to get facetious about this, but it's not an acronym.
MAC doesn't stand for anything. It's supposed to be Mac, which is short for Macintosh.

MAC is an acronym for Macintosh's Are Crap

The iTunes media player is not very good for PC...
