So I wanted to download a Quicktime plugin for my web browsers on the Windows side so that I can preview something. And I find out that you can't download just Quicktime, you must also get iTunes . Even if all you friggen want to do is watch a movie trailer.

*grumble*

This is why no matter how nice Apple's products are, they are just as evil and bad as Microsoft. Maybe moreseo because they like to pretend tehy are on the side of the angels.....

Yeah, I discovered that problem a while back.

Memory says I DID eventually figure out a way to get JUST QuickTime without iTunes. But it wasn't easy, and they may have removed it since.

I have a standalone installer I could give you a copy of .......

Your solution, sir:

And they're not on the side of angels. They just want to be as pretty as them.

They still provide Quicktime without iTunes but they hide that option.

Here's the link:

Thanks to all for the links to get it standalone. It also turns out that if you install iTUnes and uninstall it that it leaves QuickTime out there....

I'm sooooo disapointed

You should know better. Mplayer and Xine under linux would play those quicktime movies without installing anything from Apple.

Except the goal wasn't to veiw the quicktime. The goal was to get the quicktime plug-in up and running on a Windows box.

Always make sure that you are asking the right question :-)
