I run Windows 7 on VirtualBox from Oracle, not VirtualBox from any
distro's repository. With nowadays versions from iTunes it's not
possible to purchase or update apps, this only can be done over the
air. However, I'm using iTunes to save the meta data of my purchases,
since I never ever will use a cloud and to share audio production files
between Linux pro-audio software and iPad pro-audio software. There's no
alternativ to iTunes, since some providers wouldn't allow even to send
a single wav file, let alone a complete audio session with tons of wav
and MIDI files. Btw. Windows XP won't work anymore, since Apple doesn't
support iTunes for it anymore and you can not use an old release of
iTunes, since iTunes needs to fit to the used version of iOS.
