QuickTime is an evil program. First, it takes over the file associations for every multimedia-ish file type on your computer. (Hello, Apple, I just want to play QuickTime movies.) Then, it hits you with a nag box constantly when you go to pages that use those media types. And finally, it’s constantly nagging me to download new upgrades for the software. What a pain in the neck! Is there some rule stating that if you want to build clients for streaming content, you have to be totally obnoxious?
