In addition, the "Buy QuickTime Pro" and "Registration" links have been completely eliminated as menu options and the registration control panel also removed from the System Preferences. These changes suggest that Apple may finally be incorporating all the Pro features into the standard QuickTime installation." It's amazing the way rumors get reported. Wouldn't it stand to reason that Apple enabled the Pro features of QuickTime in test builds of Snow Leopard so that they could be tested, rather than because they were planning on making Pro free? Does anyone in the blogosphere look at this stuff critically rather than assumptively? __________________ Current Apple Stuff: 24" iMac, iPhone 4, AppleTV (original), 4gb Shuffle, 64gb iPad 2.

To be honest, if I wrote on my blog that Apple enabled Quicktime Pro features to be tested, no one would notice. Write that it's included in Snow Leopard, and it'll make the rounds faster than that "Bill Gates is testing an email tracking program and will pay you $1000 for every person you forward this to" email. __________________ Current devices: iPhone 3G.

Wait; you mean he isn't?
