Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of installing iTunes on my PC. It just never seems to go smoothly. The installer wants to write to it's own temporary folder in the root of my C: drive, and often claims it doesn't have write-permission. It's a shame that Apple often keep updating iTunes and it's a pity it can't be achieved quickly and smoothly from within the application. Apple need to look at iTunes is updated on a Windows-based machine.

iTunes 8.1.1 is now available for both Windows and Mac machines and the latest version is more than just a basic minor release. This new build now offers you support for renting HD movies through the application, so you can choose to download and view a HD movie within 30 days of paying for your rental. Once you start watching, however, you only have 24 hours to finishing viewing. Why would you want to watch HD movies via iTunes on your PC or Mac? You could easily connect a Mac to your TV and watch movies you download from the Mac via your television.
