iTunes is a forced download for iPod users really... So I wouldn't count it tbh.

Firefox 2.0 users got asked "do you want to update" so does that count aswell ;)

[Recursion]

They don't have to though.

With iTunes, whenever someone buys an iPod they are forced to download it ;)

No you don't you can simply click "cancel", I will get a screenie next time it asks me to update :)

[Recursion]

GRRRR!!! ¬_¬

Whenever you buy an iPod for the first time you have to download iTunes, or if you are using an old iTunes with a brand new iPod that needs new software ;)

[kk.]

yes but most family computers already have it. over 8,000,000 anyway. and so they get asked if they want to update

That is the stupidest come back I have ever heard from you Tom, it's completely irrelevant, of course you have to update for a new hardware, thats like saying "lets leave nvidia drivers installed for a ATi card" it won't work, firefox 2 still works, as does firefox 3, you can cancel a update on iTunes as such you could on iTunes. Now like I was saying I wonder if people use iTunes more than firefox

[Recursion]

-sigh- You don't get me >.<

Apple make it so you cannot transfer music over to your iPod without using iTunes, FORCING you to download it when you buy an iPod. FireFox isn't quite the same.

You can actually, there is a way of doing it :rolleyes:

It's not easy, and for not-so-savvy people, they are just going to go and download iTunes because they are "forced" to.

Updates through the program were not counted, and will not be counted in future record setting attempts of this ilk. You had to go to the website and download Firefox 3 for your download to count.
