I was watching the news. What I saw was not very good.

"...Many users of iTunes that download music when using Windows Vista get an error, and usually cannot download it. If they get that far, they can't transfer music from their Vista PC to their iPod..."

So, my question is, do yall' think Bungie will find some way to make Halo 2 Vista for XP, or XP professional, because I dont want to have to give up iTunes and my iPod to play halo, and dont want to give up Halo 2 for PC for iTunes and my iPod. >.<

I've said it a thousand times before, and I'll say it another thousand times if I have to: Halo 2 Vista is going to stay on Vista.

This has got to be either the worst possible way to ask if H2 is coming for XP, or the worst possible method of asking a question about iTunes without getting your post locked. Or the strangest connection between an iPod and Halo. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Firstoff, I'm wondering why you would possibly consider buying DRM-laden songs from iTunes in the first place. They put so many restrictions on what you can do or can't do with your own hard-earned songs that you might as well resort to piracy or try your luck with lesser-known music distributors.

Apple I know is coming out with a fix for this sort of problem soon.

And no, they won't port it for XP.

The fact that iTunes doesn't work on Vista is an issue that Apple must deal with. Is is not up to Microsoft to make Vista work with iTunes. Now Apple is not in a big hurry to get iTunes working because they want the 70% market share of downloaded music to switch to Macs.

Apple is just taking its time doing it so less people will buy Vista for these first few months. They are already working on a fix.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Exactly. Apple said it would be fixed in the next update in a few weeks.

Also, iTunes is the only place to find a copy of the Halo 3 trailer music.(which is very good music, by the way)

Hahaha I’m with Master Kim they wouldn't put Vista in the name if it was for XP but hey I am sure it will be fix fast. There are a few things wrong I am told with 3Dmax also on Vista. So there should be some stuff coming out good luck.

The few, the proud, the leet.

Oh noes, I cant wait a couple of weeks for Apple to release an update fixing the problem so I'll post a thread about it asking a question that's been asked and answered a multitude of times in the past.

achohol 120%

well there is your bug there masterz, achohol is the biggest bug ever known to man. O.o
oh, and I'm going to post this in my sig,
Halo 2 PC made to run on Windows XP, it will never going to happen you stupid noobs!!!!!!! Stop asking!!!!!!
Halo 2 Vista means that Halo 2 PC is going to be for Windows Vista, not Windows XP, if you want to play Halo 2 on the PC, Up-grade to Vista, if you don't want to up-grade to vista because some guy out on the net said something far from the truth, or was talking out of his but, then fine by me, but stop asking bungie to make Halo 2 PC for Windows XP, it is never going to happen.
as for the iTunes thing give Apple, and MS some time, and a fix will be out for that, I think most of Windows users have iTunes, I know I do, and I love it, but my iPod died some time back, something about driving down a road with more pot holes then the amount of Hair on a dog's back and leting it bounce around with my brain may of had something to do with it.
R.I.P. my nice white iPod, R.I.P.
