Apple updates iTunes to version 6.0.1
Apple on Thursday released iTunes 6.0.1, which features several stability improvements over iTunes 6. As of press time, the software update was available only through the Mac OS X Software Update mechanism. "After purchasing music from the iTunes Music Store with iTunes 6 or later, you will also need to upgrade your other computers that purchase music from the iTunes Music Store to iTunes 6.0.1," the company said in the release notes. With iTunes 6.0.x lets users preview, buy, and download over 2,000 videos on the iTunes Music Store and then sync the music and purchased videos with an iPod. To watch purchased videos, users must also have Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

I would laugh if I ever got what that meant.
10.3.9 or later? What is the minimum version required for Windows? Honestly, I personally don't care, but what about those users that don't want to dish out money for a new Mac OS every year to watch videos....'
On second thought, am I understanding this correctly? Because I sent a pixar movie I bought to my sister who's running Panther and she was able to play it just fine.
EDIT: Or perhaps Apple MADE this a requirement with 6.0.1??????
I'd guess that this is to fix the shared music vulnerability.

10.3.9 IS Panther. You don't have to pay for 10.x.x updates.
Since installing the 6.0.1 update iTunes crashes each time I try to launch it. Anyone else see this?

Fine here. Tried repairing permissions? You might also be able to find iTunes' preferences .plist file and try deleting it.
