The issue with the iTunes Store showing unreadable garbled characters still is occurring for me with iTunes 9.0.1 on Windows 7.

Success! I installed 9.01 on Windows 7 64-bit and did not get the iPod/mobile device communication error message I was getting with iTunes 9.0. I successfully synced both an iPhone and a iPod.

Sorry, spoke too soon. iTunes 9.0.1 is still not working. It didn't give an error message when it first launched - which iTunes 9.0 did - and I was able to sync both an iPhone and an iPod, as I reported above. But after I quit and restarted iTunes, the "The software required for communicating with iPods and Mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?" error message popped up. Oddly enough, I am still able to sync my iPhone, which shows up in iTunes 9.0.1, but cannot sync the iPod.

Sorry for the hasty report.

This update didn't resolve any problems for me. My iTunes still freezes mid-download. It takes the money from my account, but I never get the song. I've already wasted over $4 doing this. GRRRRRR!!!! I want my money back!!!!

I just want to say I never experienced any of these issues. Now that it just upgraded to 9.01 I am having all of the above. It doesn't want to open, finally when it does it is unresponsive. After 8 hours of me being at work it played music when I got home...Only to completely go unresponsive again when I attempted to go to the Itunes store. And it's not my computer as all other programs work fine while this is happening. (And my cpu/ram isn't being taxed while all this is happening...) Good update apple...
