70.18.200.83 01:36, 21 July 2006 (UTC): Shouldn't all the lists of foistware include both the main program (what is desired to be installed) and the things that are installed that are unrelated? Kazaa, iMesh, and BikiniDesk are all single programs - either the main program or the unintentionally installed program - which is meant? I know what Kazaa is, and so I suspect that it is the main program, but what does it install beyond the P2P program that would be the foistware? And the other two?

I ask not out of any personal confusion, but because that seems to be how it ought to be.

Itunes is foistware, they force you to download it when you want to download quicktime. They won't ever make a seperate installer because Apple wants to force everybody to have Itunes. All I wanted was to watch movies and now Itunes took over my machine. It's a music player, but it's also a frontend for thier dumb music store and also a proprietary software for thier Ipod mp3 players. It's unethical of them to force it onto people. Especially ones that do not NEED the software at all and find it irritating. Piece of crap. 216.58.43.193 19:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

There now IS a version of Quicktime without Itunes. Just be very carefull with what file you download, read the entire page for downloads twice, and never choose custom installation. Also, you can uninstall Itunes seperately from the configuration panel. - Redmess (talk) 10:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
