Anything that uses the QuickTime API should be able to. On OS X, Real Player plays them just fine.

If they use the QuickTime API to play QuickTime files, yes.

If that is the case then Windows Media player would be able to play DRM AACs as well. I personally haven't tried.

WMP10 just rolls over and dies when I try to play an MP4 on it. Course, I use amaroK now, which I feel is better than Winamp now, especially with the cool playlist generator it has and lyrics lookup.
