Quicktime and windows 8?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

officially apple doesn't support windows 8 for quicktime anymore, though in
my experiences the latest QT-player still runs on w8. The apple support even
advises against installing QT on w8. Has anybody any insight in the future
of QT on windows? Is it only a coincidence if it runs on w8 and there are
other components on w8 which get into conflict with w8 so that it doesn't
run on w8? Is it only a matter of time, until apple will support w8, or do
they really have the strict policy not to support windows anymore? And if
yes, what is the current alternative for us LC developers to create a cross
platform Mac/Win application with videos?

Any insight or experiences welcome

Tiemo
