Thereafter users of Windows Vista and Windows XP will use older versions of iTunes, but the operations on these versions will be limited. They will no longer be able to buy new articles from iTunes Store and will no longer be able to download the already purchased items. Basically the application will be used only to listen to locally stored music and to synchronize Apple devices with older iOS versions.
