can someone tell me what is wrong with Quicktime, other than the fact that it's from Apple?

I'm no apple fan-boy, but this seems a bit ridiculous

It adds a desktop shortcut without asking, it installs Apple Software Update which nags you to install other horrible Apple software like iTunes and Safari all the time, it re-adds the desktop shortcut whenever you update, it requires a restart after you update, it adds a tray icon without asking, and it's overall just a terrible, terrible piece of software even if you ignore all the software faux pas it commits.

...and it starts nagging you about MIME types or something...in such a way that you can't tell if it's stealing association from something else.

Ann Hathaway doesn't look good as Catwoman. Catwoman needs eyes that are striking and look exotic like a cat. All the eyeliner in the world can't fix her eyes. Also I hope this one doesn't get lost in the last 1/4 of the movie like Dark Knight did.

Why can't I download the trailer instead? Nothing happens when I select 1080p from the dropdown menu.

Anne Hathaway looks weak and frail with no hidden batshit crazy side. She just looks too nice, kind of like a copy of Katie Holmes/Rachel. Marion Cotillard is much more "woman", but I'm still not sure she'd make a good Catwoman.

Looks decent, but the trailer did it's job. It introduced characters and possible plots without giving too much away.

I just hope that does not turn into an epic 2.5 hour snore fest like the past movies that that had a trilogy.

And telling it you don't want it booting and running in the system tray every time you restart just adds a switch to the boot up entry that has it hide itself (still slows boot time needlessly).

And let's not forget that it's a forced format that was thrust upon us without so much as a full-screen option for something like 13 years.

Hathaway is awesome - some people just need to complain about things to feel superior.

Those quicktime complaints, by the way - please - you can delete a desktop shortcut in 2 seconds, you can prevent quicktime from starting up when your computer starts if you have basic computer skills - it's just 'I hate Apple' without people admitting it. If you don't know how to 'fix' the things you are complaining about regarding Quicktime, you shouldn't be using alternative software either.

I thought Apple was supposed to make the best software? They sure have an interesting way of showing it to Windows users.
