We have numerous iPods in the house that have worked flawlessly with XP as well as with AirPort Express and AirTunes. Sharing iTunes libararies via the built in Bonjour software was seamless.

Until, that is, I recently bought a new MacBook Pro that would constantly drop out when streaming to Apple's own AirPort Express/Air Tunes, after spending hours of quality time on the phone with Apple Care.

Switched to a new Vista laptop with much hesitation. All the iPods worked, connected, shared libraries and most importantly streamed via AirTunes over the AirPort Express as they should.

Over the years we've yet to break or have an iPod fail. Perhaps we're lucky, but I think its a pretty great piece of hardware. And, although I refuse to buy any crappy 128 MB, DRM laden music from the iTunes Store, I find that iTunes, as an application, has always worked quite well for us as well.
