It seems that QuickTime has done an excellent job of allowing the most options that other formats have yet to offer. It has and continues to open new doors and explore new avenues that have not been touched by the other formats. I like the approach of the QuickTime player being a function of the movie being played as opposed to the configuration. It is this sort of innovative approach that, in my opinion, has helped develop QuickTime as such a unique tool compared to its competition. The biggest problem I see is the alienation of Linux users. I guess I am still not completely clear as to why there is no Linux version available and why there have been indications that there never will be.
