The iTunes plague, accursed Quicktime bundle!
Have anyone of your tried to download the latest Quicktime before? If you do, you will probably find it bundle with the iTunes software. As you all know, Quicktime is an integral part of watching media online, though not the most user friendly software (i still hate how it is always there at my taskbar, can’t really kill it of through its own options, same goes for MSN), it is nevertheless needed. Now here’s the problem, downloading version 7 automatically installs iTunes as well, and I don’t want iTunes! ! I think it is really unfair to force users to install the iTunes software as all we need is Quicktime! Totally dominating!
Fortunealy, there is actually a stand alone version! Uhuh, but the question is not whether it is there or not, it is about whether you can actually find it or not? Go ahead, go try! Nope? Well, here’s a link to help you guys: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
