iTunes is fine - at least on the Mac...

I'll grant you that the cover flow thing is a load of toss, although you don't need to embed artwork in each track any more. It's very naughty that they try to bundle it with QuickTime & Safari - don't know how to stop that! But, I haven't seen a better music player - WMP is piss poor - WinAmp looks better; but not as good as iTunes.

I don't know why Apple think another browser for Windows is necessary. FF & Opera are both very good already and the unthinking masses all blindly use IE anyway.

OS X ripped the old Apple Interface Guidelines to shreds and introduced a lot of eye candy bull s**t. What was once a beautifully clean interface is now full of geewhizz effects only slightly more interesting than the 2012 Olympic logo. Everyone older than 12 turns them off after three minutes. Microsoft marketing t**ts looked on enviously and stole it all for Vista adding their own garish touches. At work, I use the "classic" interface, ugly as it is; but much better than the abortion that is the standard XP interface. That Crystal one looks quite nice though.
