Do not bundle extra crap that I do not need! Bundling iTunes and Safari with a quicktime install is like going to the store to buy a bottle of mustard and being forced to take home a 5 pound chunk of olive loaf meat and if you don't remove the tiny little sticker on the bottom that you didn't see, they deliver a 10 foot long loaf of jalapeno cheddar bread. If you are buying mustard, you must be making a sandwich and the company that makes that mustard also makes the olive loaf and jalapeno bread. Everyone who uses that brand thinks that those are the best ingredients for a sandwich and therefore you should be grateful that they gave them to you without you having to ask. If you are downloading Quicktime, you must be browsing for media content on the internet and Apple's music player and browser are the best things to go with Quicktime.
