Fulvio means that most content providers are reluctant to use another
or better viewer, even if there are much better ones.
The problem is that the install base of QT is pretty high and anyone
who wants to display spherical panos uses the technology that is most
common. Hence the chance for a new or better viewer is bad, even if
Apple didn't add any new features or enhance the QTVR viewer in any
way since years. Only the download size increased to ridiculos 32
MB...
If you want really good fullscreen viewers I suggest you try DevalVR
(very small download, very good quality, fast enhancement cycle) or
Spi-V (reasonable install base for Shockwave, highly configurable).
Both support a couple of formats and both can be adjusted in many
ways (no hard coded min and max zoom f.e.).
