Tiger math 2: When a feature isn't a feature

Looking over the Tiger feature set today for my next installment of "Tiger Feature of the Day," I came across one called QuickTime Fullscreen Controls in the QuickTime 7 section. Intrigued, I fired up a QuickTime movie to see how it works. However, to play a QuickTime movie in full screen mode, you need QuickTime 7 Pro. And QuickTime 7 Pro is not part of Tiger: You have to buy it, just like anyone else. (It's not available yet, however, and will presumably become available April 29 when Tiger ships.) So QuickTime Fullscreen Controls is not a Tiger feature at all. It's a QuickTime 7 Pro feature.

I guess that means Tiger really has 199 new features. :)
