    You have to parse the article into two parts: the stuff about the update is above the line “iTunes 10 comes with many new features and improvements, including:”. The stuff after that line is all about iTunes 10 as compared to previous versions.

  5. anyone know it if takes away the common 10.0 hacks; i.e. horizontal buttons, color to icons, replacement of application icon?

    i obviously REALLY liked the old layout, so i’m all prepped to keep it that way. this update isn’t worthwhile to me if it junks all these things.

    a yay or nay, anyone?
