    Video from Brightcove: Steve Jobs at D (direct link to the video)

    A good interview, ending with a monster quote for the ages... Steve was asked how many copies of iTunes were out there, he said several times as many as there are iPods, implying at least 300M copies. The interviewer (I think it was Walt Mossberg but I honestly don't know) said that makes Apple a major Windows developer. Jobs nods, and says they've received cards and letters from people saying iTunes is their favourite application on Windows, and says:

    "It's like giving a glass of ice water to somebody in hell."

    Ya gotta love the guy. :-)
