Default [beta] Apple, once again, secretly installing software?
Quote:
A link for "MobileMe Preferences" has begun appearing at the bottom of the Control Panel screens of those who have installed the latest Apple iTunes software -- according to one user, without any notification at all.

The MobileMe preference panel has also been reported to be showing up in Windows XP as well.

MobileMe does feature Vista compatibility, and the most recent update to iTunes, version 7.7, added functionality necessary for iTunes to work with the service -- although it is not necessary to sync information.

Never asked me if I wanted it, no option to uninstall it. Apple is getting bad, real bad about this. If this continues it will impact my decision to buy future Apple products.

I hate letting even quicktime install on my machines. Quicktime has become another Realplayer in my eyes. Anyone encoding into .mov should be drawn and quartered.

God forbid Apple share the codec with the open source community. I like my WMP. It's just that. WMP. No extra BS. I don't bother downloading anything thats .mov because I refuse to install quicktime and iTunes.

I got that few days ago. I have no idea why apple would do this. They should really allow you to custom install stuff for itunes OR someone makes a installer that installs itunes but you pick what installs
