This'd probably be the best bet if possible.

Real-world considerations mean that people sometimes HAVE to use Windows. The
VPN at my work doesn't allow Linux users to connect to it. They *could* allow
Linux users to connect, but the people in charge of the VPN say that's a
"security risk", and they won't consider it. If I need/want to work remotely,
my only option is a Windows machine. ("Getting smarter people in charge of
the VPN" is not an option, sadly.)

Also, what about games? You may not play games, but lots of games only run on
Windows.

gtkpod should work for managing the music/video/whatever on almost all iPods,
and it's cross-platform. Buying stuff via the Apple store may require iTunes
itself--I don't know since I've never wanted to buy stuff from there.
