History
Owen W. Linzmayer, in Apple Confidential 2.0, traces QuickTime for Java's genesis back to Kaleida Labs, a spin-off company created by Apple Computer and IBM, noting that it and some Unicode text classes were the only Mac software salvaged from the four-year, $150 million disaster. Ported to the Mac OS, it was developed under the code-name "Biscotti", and first released as a public beta in 1999. Later versions were installed by default with Mac OS and Mac OS X, and was an optional part of the QuickTime install for Windows. As of QuickTime 7, QTJ is part of the standard QuickTime install on Windows, and QuickTime itself is installed by default with iTunes.
