THe iPod and iTunes is in the same boat as iRiver H10 and WMP10, as the Windows Zune player & software was in right up until the release version of Vista.
But, with Microsoft's track record on 'interfering' with competitors software on their OS, it does make one take a second glance at it.
As I read it and accoring to the ADC, Microsoft's disk unmount calls are(were) seriously whacked and so to prevent iPod file corruption when the user yanks the cable to uncleanly disconnect their iPod, iTunes hooks into Safely Remove Hardware, and closes out writes before letting Windows confirm it's safe to remove the device. Vista takes a different level to closing writes before confirm and so this could be what is leading to the data corruption.
