Software Update: Mac and Windows
There is a new software update available from Apple, but it affects both Windows and Mac users since the update is for iTunes and QuickTime.
The update addresses a couple of security issues in QuickTime, but also updates iTunes to version 7.2 (QuickTime version is 7.1.6 after the update). You can find out the specifics of this update at:

Mac users can get the update by running the Software Update feature from the Apple menu; Windows users can open iTunes and select Help –> Check for Updates from the menu bar.
The iTunes update seems to be a precursor to Apple’s sale of music that is not protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, however, DRM-free music is not yet available on the iTunes store. DRM encryption is used to limit consumers’ ability to copy and/or sharing music purchased online.
Update: Some DRM-free titles are now available on iTunes.
