This has become a rather annoying problem, but first, let me start out with a little bit of fact.

1.NEARLY 3 YEARS HAS GONE BY SINCE 64 BIT VISTA HAS BEEN RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC.
2.A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF COMPUTERS BEING SOLD TO THE PUBLIC ARE 64 BIT MACHINES WITH VISTA PRE-INSTALLED
3.THERE IS STILL YET TO BE A FUNCTIONING INTEGRATED WEB BROWSER MEDIA PLAYER FOR ANY AND ALL WEB BROWSER APPLICATIONS FOR 64 BIT VISTA (Possibly Window 7 also).

The closest I have come to solving the issue of being able to open media files in the web browser is with Quicktime. I think it's rather archaic to download the file and open it manually, mostly because it's a feature that I am accustom to in some of my 32 bit machines. After all, these type of things aren't groundbreaking ideas at all; Plugins or media applications that function within the web browser. Instead what I get with my brand new very nice computer is a series of problems, each requiring their own little work around, and sometimes that do not have workarounds period. Allow me time to elaborate on one that Apple is causing me.

Please to explain why, when I open a media file link (mp3, mov, etc.), instead of a progress bar I get this:

Black bars where the progress bar should be? Sure, I can control the file still, by clicking where I think or I remember the buttons are. But WHY, WHY has this not been addressed? I do not know much about programing, nor do I know much about how x64 differs from x86. However, what I do know is that Vista x64 has been out for quite some time now, far more than enough time to let things like this slide. I have read the forums about this topic, and moderators claim it is a known issue. So, again, please to explain why this has not been addressed. It cannot be that big of a problem for a company like Apple. I might expect something like this issue coming from a third party community media player like VLC media player, but from Apple's Quicktime?

Apple, you have COMPLETELY dropped the ball on this. I'm not asking for Quicktime to control my stove, nor am I asking it to shave my face in the morning. I want Quicktime to play media, as it is intended to do, with simple controls, like Volume, Play/Pause and a progress bar. This problem has gone on long enough, Apple. You released a x64 ITunes recently, and I downloaded it expecting this issue to be resolved. But the problem persists. Even today.

I expected that with patience I would get an answer, OR MAYBE EVEN A WORKAROUND. Don't give me a "It's a known issue" bull. I want a solution, and I want it soon.
