    Default Quicktime on Windows = Uninstall!

    If you have a windows PC/Laptop and you have Quicktime installed, its probably a good idea to uninstall it and use VLC instead. Apple is not going to provide support for Quicktime anymroe, so there will be security risks.

    I don't think I've had quicktime installed on anything since windows 98...

    Frankly this has been true since February 1st, 2001 (when VLC was first released).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    There are risks that already exist that Apple will not ever be patching.
