I agree I am finding iTunes considerably faster on Windows Vista than previously. Scrolling down a song list used to be a nightmare and clicking a new playlist on the left hand column used to even take time to load. Everything is really smooth now – i like it!

I will say browsing the iTunes store is considerably faster. Pages load nearly right away with no loading now. The whole thing doesn’t seem to hang and have the sluggish times it did before. Also according to my tast manager it is using 118MB of RAM, I’m pretty sure it used to be up around 200MB.

You don’t seem to be able to pick iTunes DJ as a playlist in Front-Row. That would have made the iPhone remote really fly. Agh, so close

It's a little faster on Windows, not as much as I wanted though.

And there is a new item called iTunes DJ which allows you to better host a party, where the guests can use Remote to suggest the next song on their iPhones. Very interesting.
