I find that Apple shit has Windows drivers available, but often won't have
drivers available for Linux.

Specifically, I have an iPod Nano and I have an IPhone SE. I can't put music
on the iPod - so don't use that any more. But I need to get my photos off
the iPhone still, and that I might do every 3 months or so.

Yes, I know.  DON'T BUY APPLE SHIT!  And nowadays I refuse to.  My most
recent phone purchase was when I bought a Huawei phone in France a couple of
years back.  I plan to migrate to that exclusevely when I get a spare month
or two.

My only other use for Windows is my HP MFP which has Windows-only scanning
software for the automatic multi-page feeder doing both sides of the pages.

I keep a Windows 7 guest on Virtualbox solely for doing that one.

Regards,

Jack
