iTunes replaces quite a few standard Windows services. Until a few versions ago there was a DNS resolver service, but I think it has been built into the client now. Yeah, iTunes does its own DNS lookups for some reason.

Presumably you mean mDNSResponder.exe - ie multicast DNS / bonjour which is used to discover other iTunes libraries on your network.

Comment Re:Windows 7 (Score 1) 965

I bitch about Windows 8, but its actually pretty good (I run it in a VM on OSX 10.8, and run Windows 7 at work). I have been using Start8 and Classic Shell (not sure which I prefer) but the default start screen is ok once you get used to it. My gripe is that the many things, such as the default PDF reader, are Metro apps which are confusing to get back to the desktop from; a big problem if you want to deploy it to "users". I'm sure they'll get used to it though.
