Its a moving target though. Older versions of iTunes ran on older
versions of Wine, once you figured out which ones worked with what and
which hoops to jump through. Even though iTunes itself "ran", syncing
an iphone, for instance, did not work. Its too closed and proprietary
for my tastes, anyway. Ditto, iphone (even though it is slicker than
snot).
