QuickTime joins RealPlayer on my list

One annoying feature of the various video clips on the Web is that they are not all in the same format. Although most can be played with Windows Media Player, some require RealPlayer or yet another piece of software, QuickTime. I mentioned earlier that RealPlayer had a lot of annoying practices and suggested an alternative. Now it appears that Apple wants to peddle iTunes in an aggressive way and that they are adopting some unfortunate practices. It seems that there is a security update that is needed for QuickTime but getting it without paying is a hassle. Ed Bott gives some details.
