QuickTime Player 7

Perhaps Apple have realised the new QuickTime player that comes with Snow Leopard is pants because they provide, on the Snow Leopard install DVD, a version of the old player. Follow this URL to find out how to install it:

If you're installing Snow Leopard as an upgrade, it will retain your QuickTime Pro license key.

Snow Leopard Sucks

The more I use Snow Leopard the more I come to realise that its a lesson in how to abandon over 15 years of development of useful, easy-to-use software that people actually want to use in favour of something that might be prettier but is actually vastly more complex but yet with reduced functionality and a horrendous user interface. I have to wonder what's happened to all the designers and developers at Apple who actually knew what they were doing?
