fwiw I don't really have much of an issue with iTunes. I've been using it for years with no serious problems. I just have it as a catch-all for recordings (at this point, mostly my live gigs) and playing over the home stereo via airportExpress.
I had the first Surface and have two other tablet/computers running win8. I just don't get it - seems neither fish nor fowl. Surface 3 looks better and I'd really like to have something I can "write" on as typing can be tough on my hands. But switching just takes too much energy. A system has to get really bad before I'll swap these days. In the past I was more adventurous and it was fun to learn a new OS or way of working. Now - I just want the tech to get the hell out of my way...
Google's entire business model is to sell your habits to advertisers. So of course they are going to extract as much data as they can - and then sell it to the highest bidder. Apple collects info but it is so that they can sell you stuff. One advantage to their walled garden is that is tends to be walled in both directions.
