QuickTime sucks. I have installed it once and it messed up my file 
associations and nagged me to register it even when displaying GIFs 
and JPGs. I've never used it again since then. The fact that MOV is 
used for video and audio is QuickTime's smallest problem. I've hardly 
ever seen it used for non-commercial purposes.

But since OGG rules except for the extension, the extension would be 
among its biggest drawbacks. Only if and when the video codec is 
actually released, that is.

Note: I have no problem using the Ogg-Vorbis extension for Ogg-
Squish. But I do have problems using it for Ogg-Video, because it's a 
different media type.
