Is the seagate freeagent desk for mac model also compatible with windows?
Question by justanasian27: Is the seagate freeagent desk for mac model also compatible with windows? I received this seagate freeagent desk for mac external hard drive (model number: ST310005FJA105-RK). I am planning to return it. I am wondering if it is also compatible with windows? The box says it is for mac and lists only the Mac OS software requirements, but I was wondering if it could also be used with Windows PCs? Please help. Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by SilverTonguedDevilSure. There is no such thing as a Mac hard drive. Any hard drive can be formatted for the file system of any computer. The triple interface design of the case makes it particularly good for use with a Mac, since very few PCs have Firewire 800 (IEEE-1394b) connection. That’s the only reason “Mac” is in the name.

Microsoft would love for Apple to bring iTunes ? one of the world’s most popular software offerings ? to its Windows 8 “Metro” platform, but executives at the Redmond giant say Windows 8 users shouldn’t expect a touch-friendly version of the application any time soon.
With iPhone owners restricted by capped data plans on the largest U.S. carriers, cable sports network ESPN has expressed interest in potentially subsidizing those data plans to allow users to stream video without worrying about overage fees.

Microsoft: Apple reluctant to build a “Metro” iTunes for Windows 8
While Microsoft has invited Apple to produce a Windows 8 iTunes app, Cupertino’s response has essentially been “don’t hold your breath.”
Speaking to CNNMoney, Microsoft’s chief financial officer Tami Reller said, “The welcome mat has been laid out [for Apple]. It’s not for a lack of trying.” Note that Windows 8 customers can use iTunes, but only on the desktop. That’s a less-than-optimal experience, and poor Surface RT users are without iTunes altogether, as the device wont’ run non-Microsoft desktop software.
As CNNMoney points out, Apple’s position is understandable. With the best-selling tablet in the market, why would it rush to make Microsoft’s offering more competitive?
Still, Reller believes that the Windows app store will feature all of the most popular apps from Apple’s App Store by the holiday season. “That’s not just our goal, but it’ll be realistic to achieve that. We’re almost there.”
