Homeland Security warns Windows PC users to uninstall Quicktime
Deozaan:
Is this just their way of lashing out at Apple for not cooperating before?
Stoic Joker:
Seriously, who installs the quicktime garbage on Windows anymore?

Which is one reason I hate iTunes and refuse to install it.

You don't *have* to install QuickTime with itunes. I have itunes and no quicktime. But it's checked by default. And you have to keep unchecking it.

Yes, but IIRC they kept squirting it back in with every other "update" just in case you ~like~ "forgot" to install it before...

Oh yeah, I do rather remember that. And the repeated unchecking made me think it really did have to be installed. But even if QT isn't required, I have many other reasons to hate iTunes ;)

It's just easier to use iDevices with iTunes, so I don't fight that needless battle. ;D

Ditto. Which is why I don't own any iDevices. ;D
