It is unknown if the iPods will work with Windows 2000 using 3rd party software. However, iTunes 7.4 simply will not install and won't work with Win2k. So right now, the new iPods cannot work under Windows 2000. There might be some 3rd party programs that come out later down the line but nothing is known right now.

Many people on iLounge are complaining about that but I don't think it is a big deal. Windows 2000 was released 7-8 years ago (I remember buying a PC back in 1999 that came with Windows 2000) so it is pretty old. Most of the PC market is running Windows XP and newer computers are running Vista. I don't think Apple is asking too much from their users by requiring them to spend less than $100 to upgrade to Windows XP Pro.

Then again, many people have been running Windows 2000 for many, many years now and are happy with it. I guess we can't expect Apple to support the aged OS forever.

With my current iPod I am using Red Chair's Anapod. You can find this at http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/featpw.php. It has the added benefit of being able to move mp3s back to the hard disc which was the prime reason I bought it to begin with. I don't know whether the program has been updated to include the latest batch of iPods, but they say they support all of them.

Microsoft still supports it, so in my opinion it could be supported by thrid party developers as well. Then again, it is Apple's choice whether they'll support it or not...

No they don't. Trust me, I work in IT at a company desparately trying to upgrade to XP because all the vendors have stopped releasing software that supports it, too.



Time to upgrade.
