Thanks for saving me calum.


I too am going to email them and I'll try the codeweaver thing.

emh:
Quicktime for Windows should install and work via an updated version of Wine without any modifications to the config file.  Just be sure to run Quicktime in a desktop window, because, for some reason, Quicktime screws up the look of the desktop.  Another way to make sure it runs without messing up the desktop (I haven't tried this myself), is, in the DLL Overrides section of the config file, ddraw should be set to the following:

ddraw = ""

Other than that, Quicktime has always worked for me, and it actually runs even better through Crossover plugin from Codeweavers.

Part of Apple's "Switch" strategy is aimed at Unix/Linux users. If they provided software like QT for Linux, people might be less inclined to switch.

Now why would Apple spend all that time and money developing an X11 version of QT just to help Linux users decide to NOT switch?

hmmm... Im not sure if this is the case. After all, they supported YDL when they were starting up. Apple gave them crittical info on their hardware etc. to facilitate linux development. They even authorized YDL to distribute YDL loaded Mac's.

Also, Apple is supporting several OSS, GNU/GPL, initiatives including X11 for Mac OSX... but then that does benifit them
