I just really hate QuickTime. I hit a site, it says "you need QuickTime"... I accidentally hit "Okay" to the request. It downloads something then hits Apple's site to download Quicktime.
I say "no". You'd think that would be that, uh? No. The stub it downloaded first, although it can't do a damn thing, installs itself into my "Run" key, DOESN'T give me an uninstall option (not in the application itself, not in the add/remove programs, not in the start menu) and displays a useless QuickTime logo in my tray. >From this logo I can see 10 greyed out options (since I don't actually QuickTime installed) and the option to go to Apple's website. To provide me with this invaluable service this little piece of shit needs upwards of two meg of RAM constantly. In the end I had to edit the registry to get rid of it. This is just nasty. When Gator and Hotbar do the same thing it's "Spyware" and "Malware" and so forth... but Apple does it and it's what? "Good UI"? Just venting.
