I would have a guess that apple are trying to make a little bit of money
so that they dont vanish into oblivion.

By taking off extra editing features that were on previous versions of
software forces the user to upgrade, therefore making apple money,
something that it has not had the best track record on.

Imagine if every wintel user had the message
"please upgrade to QT3.0 PRO"
everytime they accesed a picture or movie they may eventualy upgrade
at about 30 quid ago apple stands to make quite a profit and not only
from seeling to Mac only users but to the whole of the computing
