Vista And iTunes 8 Playing Nice Now

Hey, guess what! If you were one of the people affected by the disappointingly stupid bug concerning iTunes 8 and Windows Vista, rejoice! There may now be a fix.
As with iTunes 7.7, this fix means you'll need to uninstall iTunes and all Apple related software, then re-download and install iTunes 8 here (which will also install all the other fun junkware/uselessware/wtfdoesthisdoware). Once reinstalled, you should be good to go to play with all the new hotness in iTunes 8 and to download iPhone firmware 2.1.
You know, I'm glad they were able to get to this and fix it with the quickness, but I still don't get how it happened in the first place? Apparently, it was a driver issue, and it looks like they simply reverted to the iTunes 7.7 drivers as the fix. Oh well, looks like I've got a few new buttons to go push, and a few new ways to find music I have to have right now.
