Really no more than most othe tech copanies... actually they're typically ahead of h curve most times.

If youmean open source... good luck... if you mean documented... you don;t have apin. Quicktime is fully documenbed. Remember, quicktime is only a container format for codecs.
Something tells me that you're talking about the.mov fle forat thouh... (talk to sorenson). If ever there was an official quicktime file format... it is MPEG 4, as MPEG is based of of Quicktime, and any new player can play or stream MPEG video and audio.
"and yes they should use their legal hounds much less
Its a legal rquirement if they ever hope to maintain copyrights to thei products.
"I still can't watch streamed quicktime movies though.
You most certainly can.
All MPEG 4 encoded streaming audio and video can be seen and heard on any ISO compliant MPEG4 media player.

This revolutionary codec offers compression times and video quality that rival those of the best proprietary codecs available, yet it provides true interoperability with other MPEG-4 players and devices."

Just so noone misunderstands... Best Buy didn't drop Apple...
Apple dropped Best buy (because they created such piss poor displays

It's not as if Apple's monitors only work on their hardware.
