This was bound to happen, with Microsoft and Apple being rivals and all, right? It seems that there are various accounts of iTunes 8 crashing when an iPod or iPhone is plugged into the PC.

We don’t mean just iTunes 8 either, oh no, this little bug will bring up the dreaded blue screen of death. Not only that, but Apple hasn’t isolated the problem yet so it could be any number of things.

It seems your best bet now, if your a Windows Vista user, is to either downgrade to iTunes 7 or not upgrade if you already haven’t. We will keep you posted on a patch for this problem.
