Well, I guess someone wanted to know about how to -avoid- loading QuickTime but, frankly, with all of QT's capabilities and control, why would you not want it? Seems to me that the only reason to (use a "vc") and (-not- load QuickTime) is to say you did it. Note the "and".
The issue can be a straightforward one about a user community. A typical user scenario for me is a small school with PCs only (no Macs) and no dedicated IT technician and maybe not even broadband Internet access. Selling these guys software and then telling them they have to download something from the Internet to make it work is bad news - and distribution of QT on CD by the software publisher involves them (I believe) in fairly onerous agreements with Apple (like agreeing to distribute updates). So people resist it. I love QT, but I have had to back off using it in this environment.
