Doesn't iTunes for Windows depend on QuickTime? Does this mean that iTunes for Windows is also deprecated?

Wow. There is a ton of multimedia software from freeware up to commercial $$$ software that won't start or break without QuickTime or am I missing something?

I didn't want to install QuickTime in the first place, but shitty iTunes required it.

Now I have a completely separate old laptop that I only use for bloated malware like iTunes, TurboTax, Adobe Flash, and the Java browser plug-in.

That keeps my everyday machines free of this junk.

This certainly looks like a major issue for media production. I know I have a ton of clients who are only set up to take .mov/H.264 files, and I have no idea how this will affect them yet.

Apparently, iTunes no longer depends on QuickTime.
