Some how I knew Quick time was not good for windows… I have never ever put it on a Windows machine and refuse to even use it on my own and even when I see it on a Customers machine I tend to wonder why they need it or have it installed?..
But I will say I feel sorry for the I Pod owners out there, Hence my g/f is a I Pod owner and runs a Windows (Vista ) machine and when a user Installs I Tunes to my knowledge the end user must install Quick Time and there is not really a way to avoid it . I have better warn her of this. Thanks
