Looks like QuickTime 7.1 is a bug-fix release. Security Update 2006-003 updates a bunch of crashers caused by malformed images, along with a bunch of other fixes. Also notable: the release notes give credit to Brent Simmons for reporting one of the JPEG-parsing crashers.

Even better than Pogue’s suggestions regarding MacBook Pro keyboards under Windows is this little utility that lets you configure all sorts of useful remappings, such as Fn-Delete for Forward Delete, Fn-click for right-click, makes the Eject key work, and more. It’s a beta, but then, so is Boot Camp. (Thanks to Nate Silva for the link.)
