Whats the deal with iTunes???

I found something that really annoys the hell out of me. I use iTunes maybe once or twice a week and it seems like every time I open the damn thing, I have to update to a newer version, which takes 15 minutes. Then, if that wasn't enough, all of my links to the previous version of iTunes don't work anymore. In order to get to the actual application, I have to dig through my Program Files just to open it and make a new link. What the deuce? Anywho, this post once again has no point but I thought I would vent and hopefully someone else shares in my personal anguish. Yay, Apple!
