What kind of fixes?

What kind of fixes are you talking about? Given I try and avoid QuickTime and anything associated with it, you'll have to do a little more explaining.

Quicktime should install with no problem onto a 64 bit OS.

You should be able to just go to Apple's website and just download Quicktime if you really want it. When I downloaded iTunes it automatically installed a x64 compatible version of the software.

Actually, frequently corrupted downloads is a sign of bad RAM. It could also be an indicator of file system corruption. None of which are necessarily Microsoft's fault.

I know Microsoft is the easy target, and they deserve quite a bit of the criticism they get, but I'm not so sure this is one of them.
