I'm given to understand that there are issues between Vista and 
iTunes/iPods right now (actually, I'm given to understand there are 
issues between Vista and almost _everything_), and Windows is pretty 
easy to corrupt or otherwise bugger up with regards to non-Microsoft 
apps like iTunes (especially apps made by competitors ;)

I can confirm iTunes works great on Macs, though -- I've been using it 
ever since the SoundJam days without trouble or complaint.  I've just 
started a massive project of re-ripping all my CDs (the ones in the UK, 
anyway) in lossless format to a big honking hard-drive using iTunes.

Cheers,
Carl
