Does updating your itunes slow your computer down?

Question

its telling me to update my itunes to 7.7.1...

but ive been hearing from a lot of people that their computers freeze all the time after updating their itunes..

now im really scared to do it cuz someone told me his computer literallly broke down and is not even working after he updated his itunes..

does it really slow your computer down?

and is ipod software version 2.0 any better than 1.1.4?

i have an ipod touch by the way...

Answer 1

updating iTunes should not slow your computer down significantly if at all.  so dont worry. the worst that will happen installing a new version of iTunes is that you have to uninstall and then reinstall, so it is not a big issue and maximum you should be all updated in half an hour.

Answer 2

no
