Im starting to think that there's something intentional there on Apple's part. Many times Ive come across an embedded Quicktime .mov file on a web page and have it crash out Firefox/Windows (with the latest Quicktime and Firefox updates installed, too). Likewise, Ive had PDFs produced with Adobe Acrobat/Windows that crash Preview on the Mac. One issue I have with QT on Windows was being reported by users as far back as 2006 on the Apple Forums - with no resolution ever posted. The common feature between them is the ugly crash, rather than something a little more graceful. I guess I should be thankful there isnt a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error" to go along with it. I sometimes feel like the collective computer users of the world are caught in a perpetual push-me-pull-you battle between Adobe, Apple and Microsoft.
