Amen to that. iTunes and QuickTime have been a pain in the butt ever since I got Vista. It's not like Apple had no warning that Vista was coming. All I want is to be able to play .mov and .mp4 files without crashing. I know, I know, VLC player plays them and I've got it installed but doesn't it seem strange that I've got to install a third party app in order to play Apple's video formats? There are a host of other problems that I pray will get fixed SOON but hey, it's Apple, and that means they'll fix it when they darn well please.
Uhh yeah I've been using iTunes on Vista for the last month or two, synching my iPod, buying songs, listening to music, downloading podcasts, etc. I haven't seen any problems. The only problem I did have was Quicktime's plugin crashing Firefox... But just disable DirectDraw acceleration and it's all fixed.

Vista users already know that iTunes doesnt really work for us. But the update will come one day...right?

itunes works fine for me in Vista. The only issue I had with it was podcast syncing back in beta but it's been fine for months now.

Using Vista Ultimate and iTunes. No issues so far. (Except for the disaster that was iTunes 7.0, but those problems have long since been resolved.)
