Apple's Windows iTunes SDK
Arstechnica reports on a new Software Development Kit released by Apple for iTunes Windows.
The development kit allows for tighter integration between 3rd party Windows applications and iTunes. Mac OS X applications have always been able to play protected iTunes AACs through Quicktime.
Windows developers are just getting this capability, opening the possibility for playing AAC files through applications such as WinAMP or Windows Media Player.

If this can get bundled into a new version of WinAMP, I think AAC will kill WMA.

This is good news!
I am actually surprised Apple is doing this, because they have been so stubborn in the past with their technologies. Maybe Apple has learned a lesson?
Next I would like to see them license FairPlay.

This can only be a good thing for the use of iTunes in windows platform. Maybe one day they could have the same integration we have with our iPhoto and the like.

Do you have to have iTunes installed to use these features?
It said you need iTunes 4.5 or higher.
