I've been using the paid version of mcafee for over a year after using the student edition for several years. After my student edition died, and before I decided to pay I tried Avant and AVG (free versions) and they were both awful bloated crapfests. I have used norton in the past and had similar bloat issues. Mcaffee even with the default install works just fine. I've recommended it and installed it on 3 relatives pcs, even dog slow ones and see no issues. So, where exactly are you getting your information about this other then slashdot hearsay?

That said, you'd think WoW players would be a bit more concerned about, oh, I don't know, the constant server crashes, rolling restarts, major patch bugs[...], and just generally utter crap technical quality of the game [...] even though no other modern MMO suffers anything close to that level of technical dysfunction.

You're joking right?

They also let you do transfers. Which was in TFS if you bothered to read it. You can do this without sending account numbers (just use account suffixes) but what happens when your twitter account gets hacked and someone transfers all of your money from your checking suffix to your savings? Say hello to overdraft fees.

If you switch to your mac, it reformats your ipod/iphone to hfs format from fat format. You should back up your itunes library on your pc, restore it on your mac, and then sync it with your mac.

I have used plenty of windows formatted ipods with my mac. You can sync a fat formatted ipod on a mac but not an hfs formatted ipod on windows (with itunes at least.)

I FIRST made sure I corrected the DEFAULT setting that would have had it copying and renaming, and doing only who knows what to my music. Heaven forbid you should organize something yourself in the Mac world!

This is the best feature of iTunes. I don't have time or patience to meticulously hand-sort and rename all of my music files after I rip or buy them online. Also, it's optional, and one of the first things iTunes asks you about after installing it.
