I think that the new iTunes 11 interface needs texturing, otherwise it;s great!

Why does your "interface" button above (as in "click HERE to look at iTunes new interface", right??), take me to a Microsoft Windows website - have you been hacked?

That has to be the funniest comment I've seen on a forum. I guess if you don't know, you don't know. That's keyword advertisement placement and is no doubt generated on the fly based on the keywords in a paragraph of text.
