I haven't heard that story before (although I wouldn't put Apple past it).
However, XAnim can play .MOV files just fine.  The current beta versions
are great, they'll play MPEG, QuickTime, MS .AVI, and several other formats
with sound, and on all bit depth displays. Sorry, I don't know the URL for
XAnim.

Apple's latest scam, 'Apple Notebook Disks.'  You pay $4 extra per box to
get 3.5" floppies that are 'precision-crafted to Apple factory specifications.'
Sigh.
