QuickTime's built into OS X, so it's not needed there. The Windows installer needs to install QuickTime because iTunes requires it. QuickTime’s built into OS X, so it’s not needed there.

That's, um, a bit dodgy. I actually didn't even notice Bonjour being installed when I put iTunes on my Windows box at work. *shrug* I guess my years of Mac use have just made me confident that installers always treat me well ;) Heh according to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows_readme.html during installation on XP with Service Pack 2 or above Bonjour will configure the firewall for you.

If so, it's exceptionally useful. I know that the Mac version of iTunes uses Rendezvous/Bonjour to share music libraries easily… isn’t that what the PC would use it for?

I can't imagine why Apple thought it worth including. Perhaps in time the iTunes installer will come bundled with Tiger. I've never liked the inclusion of QuickTime either - every time it installs, I have to turn off the tray icon and remove its shortcut from 101 places.

This was for the windows install, though.
