Why he concentrated on ID3v2.4 is to try to help push forward the 2.4
standard. The reason Windows can get away with only supporting ID3v2.3
even in Windows 7 is because of people like you conforming to their
laziness.

FWIW, iTunes does support ID3v2.4. So does nearly every tagging program,
application and library out there. Windows is a big, particularly
glaring omission and they have no reason to fix that if people bend
backwards instead of pushing them to leap forwards (to a ten-year-old
standard!)
