Apple iPod Compatibility Update for Windows Vista

Nick White announced at the Windows Vista Team Blog that the final compatibility update is available for Windows Vista users of the Apple iPod.

The update is available at the Microsoft Download Center now and will be available via Windows Update on Tuesday 22 May 2007.

"The release is for users worldwide and works with the latest version of Apple iTunes to correct an issue that caused some iPods to become corrupted when ejecting them using Windows Explorer or the "Safely Remove Hardware" function in the System Tray.

The long and short of it is this: Apple and Windows have partnered together to ensure a great experience in using Windows Vista with iTunes and the iPod, and both companies recommend you download this update."
