"warrants the iPod... product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year" "This Limited Warranty does not apply to any non-Apple hardware product or **any software**, even if packaged or sold with the iPod or iSight product." The warranty is a hardware warranty. Software need not apply. They wouldn't turn you away if you had Yellow Dog dual-booting on your PowerBook either...

There ya go.
