Software updates: December 18th

Some software-related tidbits (I'll be updating this during the day):

ReSharper 2.0 EAP build 213 is out (lots of builds since the 210 I have installed on my machine at work). I'll have a go at it and post comments in the ReSharper EAP post as usual.
GAIM 2.0 beta 1 is also out. I've been using it for the past few hours, it seems pretty stable - there've been a lot of small improvements (away mode handling, account display, preferences) but don't expect a quantum leap in usability.
Dying to get rid of Windows XP Automatic Update's super-nagging 10-minute interval "Restart Now or Later" dialog? So am I. Luckily, Coding Horror's got the answer.
There's no avoiding QuickTime these days, but what with all the iTunes hype the player is taking up ridiculous amounts of drive space (the installer itself is over 30MB!) I've installed the latest QuickTime Alternative and never looked back.

I must agree that Quicktime is really annoying.
What really pissed me off, was the fact that if you want to install the latest version, you must install it with iTunes and other stuff I simply don't want to and will never use (well, at least not in the near future).
Thanks for link ;)

That's precisely the reason I installed QuicktimeAlt. 30mb download for a media player? Bah.
