where is the Quicktime 10 download?

ok so, I have Quicktime 10 on Mac OS 10.6.2 and I'm going to apple.com/quicktime and it says Quicktime 7?!! Am I on crack, I thought Quicktime 7 was an older version? Can someone explain this?

MB Pro (Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.6), iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G, iPod Nano 2G, iPod Shuffle 2G

Snow Leopard users can have both QuickTime X and QuickTime Player 7.6.3.
QuickTime X is only for Snow Leopard and you can't install QuickTime Player 7.6.4.
You must use the Snow Leopard DVD (Optional Installs) to install 7.6.3.

Ok, where can I reinstall Quicktime X? I uninstalled it, I want to reinstall it and see if its issues can be fixed. Also, isn't quicktime X better than Quicktime 7.6?

You'll have to re-install Snow Leopard.
You've made a mess by deleting the X version.

lol ****. Ok, well if I reinstall Snow Leopard, and I already have Snow Leopard, what will happen? Should I just install Quicktime 7 from the Snow Leopard DVD?

You could get by without the X version if you installed 7.6.3.
QuickTime X will probably never be offered as a download.

Is Quicktime X like that much better than QuickTime 7.6 or something?

It has some features not found in the Pro upgrade of QuickTime Player (screen recording) and a different GUI.
I use both versions on my iMac but do nearly all of my work with Pro.
