Wozniak calls for open Apple
Dragging something onto a removable disk is hoop jumping?

The hoop is not using the software. The hoop is having to install the software.
Why can't the iPod work without iTunes? (It can, but only with a lot of work.)

IIRC correctly most of the older MP3 players didn't need any software beyond what was built into Windows. Of course this was the era of Windows 95/98 so how well that worked overall it's difficult to say.

And most of the current mp3 players, as far as I know. iPods are the broken ones.
