When is QuickTime 7 for Windows coming???

Apple Insiders Wanted...

Published on May 31, 2005 By SuiteLife In

After ATI and their "Coming Soon" for the ATI TV Wonder Pro USB Edition back in 2001, I never thought a company would try a "Coming Soon" for a product release without a promised date to say when soon was. ATI promised the drivers before XP launched in OCT 2001 and finally didn't deliver them until April/May 2002. And then they were released as an unsupport beta.

Apple I hope isn't playing ATI with the upcoming release of QuickTime 7 for Windows.

Anyone know when it is planned to be released? Any Apple insiders here?

I read somewhere that Apple was planning to release QT7 for the Windows platform in the month of September. It appears some new features are harder to transpose than expected. I know it sucks but it seems Apple folks are less productive when it comes to a different environment. I can't wait to try it, either. But unlike what many Mac users think the majority of Windows users hardly ever use QT Player, neither do they think much of it. Highly-criticized WMP is more universal and offers many more playing options. I only use QT for .mov/ .qt files so it sounds weird to me when Apple folks compare it to QT (which only plays a fairly limited number of file formats we usually come across on Windows, I don't know about the Mac version though). I can only hope QT7 will offer that extra playability in order to be more widely accepted!

I hate the QuickTime interface. If I want to play a QT file, I use Zoom Player (WMP will also play them). Only on the rare occasion that I find a QT file that won't play on a more universal and user-friendly media player do I load up that crappy interface.

I find Quicktime Alternative works well for me. It keeps Apple from annoying me with the QT interface.
