Quicktime on Windows is stuck at version 7, which is riddled with numerous problems. It's this old Quicktime codebase that is the source of the Quicktime and iTunes vulnerabilities on Windows.
The current version on Mac and iOS is Quicktime X. This version was a complete rewrite (that started on iOS and eventually migrated to the Mac). The complete rewrite allowed for a vastly more secure design (among other improvements).
