No software is of good quality if you can't actually use it, is it?

Yes of course, these others are forcing him to use itunes too since they don't have an outlet in Australia. Aren't they? But there is an important difference. The op doesn't praise the rest, and say oh how good products they make, like he did with ms, which asks for the question that I posed. If ms make such great products for you to use and be happy with them why haven't they offered you a damn store to buy from and instead they are "forcing" you to use the "terrible" itunes? We are nearing la la land when we start saying that when the tec giant screws up and doesn't give us an option to buy from them that it's their competitors fault that they actually do have at least something available to buy from. Instead of saying thank goodness for apple that at least I can buy such a broad range of content from someone, when the manufacturer of my device, ms, have royally screwed me in terms of options of actually loading some content in my device.
Well, you go that way, apple is forcing me to to buy from other, because of the lack of a linux version for iTunes.
But then, i don't care. Amazon MP3 is so much better. Just a simple plugin, no laggy heavy software.
I live very well without apple, tanks you very much.
