Neil -
Your concern for others' circumstances is staggering!
Aside from SmartSound, PDR will run happily (as far as I've determined since uninstalling it earlier)... but some Windows software requires QuickTime to even function correctly!
I can see some potential litigation here. Millions of users of various bits of Windows based software will be left stranded. Microsoft appears to have remained faily quiet on the issue too.

Tony!
Since when does a simple explanation of how I use my computer become an example of "Don't give a damn about anyone else" attitude? All I did in my post was explain that I use my internet service for a short period each day, unlike some who might probably be "hooked up" 24 hours/7 days. When I go off-line, then I'm truly
off-line! Not just logged off, but, for the sake of my computer's security, completely disconnected.
As to the problem of curtailed support for QuickTime, there may well be quite a legal battle in the courts, and several organisations may well be bound up in the arguments, not least of which being Cyberlink, as several of their software products rely on QuickTime in one way or another to function properly. And yes, Microsoft
WILL have to step up to the plate here as well. I think their own "Windows Movie Maker" may also tap into SmartSound(though I could be wrong there) but in any case, Microsoft will have an interest in these goings-on.
