He can try to return the iPod and get a refund, he can upgrade his computer to Windows XP or 2000 or he can buy a new machine with Vista.

In fairness not only is Windows ME a 7 or 8 year old operating system, but, in the grand scheme of things, it's one of the worst, most bug-ridden pieces of crap Microsoft have ever released.

You can't expect hardware and software manufacturers to continue to support it.
