Apple has released Quicktime 7 to the public who use Mac OSX. The site states that the Windows downloader will be coming soon, so I would expect it tonight or tomorrow.

Hope this time they will allow to download QuickTime, without iTunes.

This is so annoying.

Well I do know that QT7 still doesn't include free fullscreen mode, so anyone who was looking forward to seeing those floating fullscreen controls need to get ready to shell out 30 bucks. Or you could be naughty...

Will the H.264 HD codec also be in the windows version. Hopefully yes. So we can watch those new HD trailes. Have been waiting for such a long time.

Of course. Windows is the largest market and Apple wants us Windows users to use QT7 as much as possible.

U mm... gee windows media player and other players have done that for ages... so it'd be a very backwards player if it didn't.

I don't remember a Quicktime update that was actually interesting and I envisage that this will be much the same. Perhaps Apple could release it with a Windows interface, as the brushed metal look is really out of place (and not very nice :no:).
