8 hours battery life is really **** tho... that barely makes it through a day of school... and the battery isnt replaceable thus after 250-350 charges the thing becomes a paperweight... a very pretty paperweight tho.. a $500 paperweight...

The battery is replaceable by Apple I believe. And my original vinatge 5G goes for the classic 10 hours on one charge.
And your comment about the iPod barely making it through a school day is incorrect because you don't listen to music the entire day you're at school. You probably listen to it 2 hours or less (unless you're really sneaky and you tune out in every one of your classes).
As for the Windows compatibility, I can't tell you much except that Apple has chosen a specific music application for the PC that works correctly. But there's probably a lot of other software out there that individuals have made or small third parties that claim to work with the iPod and so people will use the software unnapproved by Apple and then complain that the iPod doesn't work. So I suggest that if you do buy a Windows iPod, you use the software Apple designates.
Edit: Congratulations Mushlafa, you're one of us now.
