Does anybody know why iTunes still has these modal dialog boxes in the first place? You know, the kind that we were very accustomed to in OS 9 and earlier, that don't let you do anything else until it's gone?

iTunes is the only OS X app I can think of off-hand that still exhibits this type of behavior. Is it because there's also a Windows version, and this a result of keeping the codebase of the two different platforms as close as possible? Or is it just a nasty hold-over from the classic Mac OS?
