"Improving greatly"
Pros
I think that this version has improved greatly since 6.0. It also has many more viewing options, just like WMP 10. And one thing I really like is the viewing of the album art. You can switch between every album you have and even view the album art if you have it. If you don't have it, right click on the song and click Download Album Art and it will automatically find the album art.
Other than the views, nothing much has changed besides the new look, which, in my opinion, is a great look for it. Also seems to be a bit faster than the last version.
Definitely upgrade, if you haven't had iTunes before, definitely download.
Cons
Although above, I said that it is faster, but its also 16 MB bigger as far as size of the program (although it's probably nothing compared to the size of all your music). And the viewing the album art view is a little slow and sometimes takes a few seconds to load the image.

This is obviously a computer setting. I have no problem and I never had. You can do what another review said, to set the priority in the task manager to above average. iTunes requires quite a lot of RAM to run without lag. I have 512 MB and it lags opening things, but never lags on music. I have a feeling that people with 256 MB will experience lag spikes in thier music. So in other words, you're giving a good game a bad look just because your computer can't run it very well.

I just installed Itunes newest version for windows and the sound quality is just rotten. I don't mean poor I mean it sounds like a thousand phono needles are scratching outy each audio file I play...the ones that play fine on realplayer, windows media player, nero showtime,...and on, and on. What a pure crap product!!!
