Struggling with your new iPhone on a 64-bit Windows Vista or XP system? Take solace, you're not alone. The error message, "The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." is Apple's magical way of telling you that iTunes is not supported on 64-bit flavors of Microsoft's operating systems.

From what I've seen, heard, and read, the people buying the iPhone won't be using these Operating Systems anyways. Anyone doing any research would realize that the iPhone while having a neat interface lacks quite a few features, a few that I find most amusing.... most notably the inability to use songs as your ringtones... I know it lacks too many "next gen" features for many of my company's customers to bother with it. Even our CEO, an admitted Apple nut, has decided not to get an iPhone, for him the lack of international support was critical.
