Why would anyone bother with v10.5.0 when v10.5.1 - which, given Apple’s recent track record, will be the first usable version - is so close at hand?
Hopefully 10.5.1 is out before iPhone 4S buyers receive their new phones.

10.5.0 is fine - and if you’re planning on getting iOS 5 tomorrow, you don’t have choice anyhow.
Besides, I’ve never had an *unusable* version of iTunes and I’ve upgraded to every single one of them as soon as I knew they were available. The only reason to not upgrade to the initial release is that you can usually bet the .1 fix to whatever minor bugs made their way through will be released within a few days. However, that’s clearly not going to be the case here since the first point release after today’s 10.5.0 is going to be withheld until iTunes Match is ready to launch, which isn’t until the end of the month. So, no, those 4S users will also be “forced” to use that (not) unusable 10.5.0 you felt the need to bash without evidence.
