Apple Inc. is urging some iPod and iTunes users to hold off on upgrading computers to Windows Vista, warning that the iTunes music software may not work well with the new operating system from rival Microsoft Corp.
Apple said iTunes may work with many Vista computers, but the company knows of some compatibility problems and recommends that users wait until it resolves the issues with an iTunes update in the next few weeks, the company said in a statement provided Friday by spokesman Derick Mains. The iTunes software is key to synching music on computers with iPod portable players.
Microsoft launched Vista, its first major overhaul of Windows in five years, on Tuesday.
Though Microsoft and Apple are partners in some cases - iTunes works with Windows PCs and Microsoft Office has a version for Macs - the two are also entrenched rivals. With Vista's launch, Apple ramped up its ad campaign attacks against Windows.
