Proposal that QuickTime will be removed from Managed Desktop for MD2016/17

Due to Apple removing support for the Windows version of QuickTime and not fixing current issues it strongly recommended by Apple and US-CERT that QuickTime is uninstalled from computer systems.

We will be strongly recommending that this is done for future versions of Managed Desktop and where possible we will be contacting staff who use files that require QuickTime and working to find alternative media players.

There is a possibility that we could consider using QuickTime via Application Jukebox for any files that must use QuickTime, but this could cause a number of issues.
