This is a generic exploit that affects all multimedia players, Quacktime, RealPlayer, WinMediaPlayer. It's really a problem with any OS or program that allows injection of arbitrary code.

It's not the delivery medium, it's the programmer who doesn't screen input code for crap. It could and does happen to all OSes and programs (PHP and ActiveScript are both vulnerable), but Win seems to cause the most groans.
