Windows 7 is not EOL, it is supported until 2020 for security and critical updates. You can still buy computers with it on until October and you can still install Quicktime on them. And it installs just fine on 8 and 10 if you go to apples website and click install. Which is where you will be directed if you visit a page that has quicktime content on it.
No, Apple is not recommending you uninstall it. Again, Apple isn't saying jack. Trend and DHS are saying that. The support page that Apple put up in March says 'If you don't need Quicktime anymore this is how you uninstall it'. No mention that it was depreciated, or EOL. No mention of the security vuln.
EOL means you announce it is end of life, that it is no longer supported and you remove it from your damn website. You don't leave it up there AT ALL for any regular user to install, let alone with no warning. That is extremely irresponsible, I am very baffled that you don't see it that way. Very baffled.
They are publishing and distributing unsupported code with reasonably bad vulns. How is that not irresponsible?
That is why my panties are in a twist.
