QT v7.0.1 update:
"QuickTime 7.0.1 provides several important bug fixes, a security enhancement, and improved compatibility with Final Cut Studio. This update is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users. For detailed information on the security enhancement, please visit this website:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n61798
Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
Installation of QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key."
And the update doesn't make you re-key your Pro version like one of the updates did in QTv6.x.x /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Regarding QT 7.0.1 update, I wonder why Apple forces us Mac users to restart Macs every time such application software updates via Software Update.
Mac OS X is built on UNIX foundations (FreeBSD), and therefore should be able to update itself on-the-fly (something like Debian).
iTunes 4.8 didn't require a restart (I didn't wait it to appear in SU, but downloaded as stand-alone installer), neither does iCal, iSync, or any other of numerous Apple's applications installed by default.
IMO, Macs should be restarted only in case of System update, Security update, Java update (client machines) or black-outs/power failures.
Does anyone know perhaps the case of Tiger Server updating itself on-the-fly?

Depends on the "depth" of what's changing in the operating system.
Many Unix updates require a restart, too. iTunes is more or less a standalone app and a restart isn't necessary.
Quicktime is fundamental to OS X, so it's not surprising that to get all the pieces loaded into RAM properly and so forth from an already-running system that a restart is required. Otherwise severe instability could really ruin your day if you are working on something important. OS X Server, you say? Don't update until you have a convenient maintenance window.
On the other hand, a restart is so simple and the reasons for complaint are so trivial in their nature, that this always makes me wonder what the deal is???
