I just downloaded the latest version of QuickTime to view some videos I wanted to watch on the web – ironically the new Apple Store opening in NYC which looks like a great piece of architecture. When the 35mb download finished I am presented with an iTunes installation program “including QuickTime 7”. What’s that all about? If I wanted iTunes I would have asked for it thanks. Whilst it seems iTunes requires QuickTime I can’t think that the opposite would be true. So, in case you were looking for the standalone version it’s here - thanks to TechRecipes. Reminds me of having to scout around on Real’s site to find their free version!

I know! Luckily I found that you can open up the installer and get the QuickTime setup out. I also very much dislike a toolbar being offered with every download. - Anonymous

I remember installing I iTunes on my developer workstation sometime ago and all my ASP.NET apps stopped working. The machine couldn't resolve "localhost" anymore. I finally had to uninstall it. I am very chary about a lot of the software nowadays because they integrate into IE, which I use everyday for Banking purposes. - Anonymous

I know what you mean Kris. Features like the phishing filter in IE7 should hopefully go some way to helping but you can never be to careful. I'm getting tired of the ebay and paypal spam I get that looks very legit until you take a close look at the return URL for their email links to "validate your account". - Anonymous

Kris, I think the problem is with IE. Just stop using it and you do not have to be so "chary" any more. Jump to Firefox ;)
