well, quicktime for windows is a giant piece of crud, but just
uninstalling it gets rid of most of the crud. itunes, however, was
always a pretty painless uninstall for me on windows. does itunes
FORCE you to install quicktime with it now? it didn't in the past, and
i'd always opt out.

you could always find his address and mail him 10 bucks then 'steal'
the album. I actually was able to do that with a couple of lesser
known artists I found, since I refuse to download DRM'd music.

I've never really found itunes any more invasive than any other
windows software. I mean, it plays music, lets you download songs, and
syncs your ipod. thats all it's meant for and all it really does.
quicktime is another matter, but i never had an issue with itunes on
windows.

it downloads files to your music directory which you choose (or leave
as default), and there is a downloads section of the store that
appears when you have downloads going. it doesn't ask you where to put
the music because most users aren't smart enough to keep their music
in one folder (no, really).
