Version: QuickTime 7.3.1
"Very intrusive and annoying player!"
Pros: Nice interface.
Cons: QuickTime is one of those default players put into Mac systems, however it's very intrusive on Windows too! Although this player has a nice interface, there are other better media players that look good as well and uses less resources than QuickTime. QuickTime is also necessary to install when using iTunes. It's almost like a forced product just for Apple to gain more hits on QuickTime (one of those players that are not even useful. I'd hate to say it but even Windows Media Player does a better job!)
When I also had this installed with iTunes, I decided to uninstall it (iTunes does NOT function without QuickTime), other than that, QuickTime was and IS not very useful. I asked it to close the system tray icon, and it still came back up permanently on every startup. Disabled its services, and yet it still runs. It's like I am being stalked. And worst of all, I uninstalled it, and it was still stuck on my Add/Remove Programs with no file size or any info. I had to use go through a whole journey just to find a way to remove it!
I'd stay away from this!

Version: QuickTime 7.3.1
"Program itself is good, but has intrusive qualities."
Pros: Stable, and plays Quicktime movies.
Cons: It tries to sneak in iTunes. I don't use iTunes, and I don't want iTunes. When I wanted to update Quicktime, it bundles iTunes with it. If you unchecked to not download iTunes at Apple's Quicktime download webpage, you're going to get it anyways. iTunes installs a process that runs in the background, which is a program I don't use. I don't want to drain memory for something I don't use thanks. That's why I uninstalled it. Get Quicktime Alternative if you just want to play the videos, and don't want a full Quicktime player with luggage.

Version: QuickTime 7.3.1
"It seems to be an improvement over the previous version."
Pros: I am happy with the latest version 7 of Quicktime. I have had absolutely no problems with it, except that it wants to "take over" as my default media player all the time. I just click no each time and it still works fine.
Cons: No negatives other than the one previously mentioned, which I consider very minor.

Version: QuickTime 7.3.1
Pros: It plays the Quicktime format. Whoop-dee-ding-dong-doo.
Cons: The most instrusive software I've ever seen. It highjacks your file associations, every time it runs. It inserts itself into your start menu, every time it runs. It plugs itself into your browser, and hides so it can't be unplugged. Mr. Jobs can take his program (and iTunes too), shove it where the sun don't shine, and give it a good hard twist counterclockwise.
