Are your problems the same as those that the hotfix is designed to fix?

re: Removing Apple Mobile Device Support

It took me about 30 minutes to remove the Apple Mobile Device Support out of Windows XP. It's domineering though that XP almost couldn't do anything, like a patient being operated on a major surgery. It freezed on several minutes, but I had to wait, read something else while waiting for it to finish uninstalling. It did, but there was no message telling that it was completely uninstalled. What a crappy software Apple insiduously offers to MS users.

Nicely done.

Now explain why Administrator doesn't have full control and what/how MIC works using the same analogy :-)

I've seen this type of problem quite a bit with cross-platform applications. They tend to be very ill-behaved on the non-native platform (by non-native I mean the platform it was originally designed and built on).

I've even had arguments with developers over platform specific UI semantics (e.g. SHIFT+CLICK vs. CONTROL+CLICK doesn't work the same way on all platforms).

If you want an application to be well rounded on all platforms, it really needs to utilize all of the platform specifics and conventions. That includes background technologies like DPAPI, Carbo, Cocoa, etc.

It actually says in the feature list that it can't play Real's format of video, and Real Audio format support is spotty. But yeah, alternatives are good.
