Yup, and Windows 7 should do the same. Tho' I have never experienced Windows 7 and I have Vista Ultimate, from what everyone says about Windows 7 I'm voting for it over Vista.

Perian doesn't use libass, but instead its own subtitle rendering. 99% of the time, the subs appear just as they would in MPC w/CCCP installed, sometimes better since it uses the OS X text rendering system.

iindigo. Quicktime + Perian is NOT almost the same as MPC + CCCP/K-Lite. You even pointed out the differences yourself. Just because you can "disregard .ogg" doesn't mean some other guy will be quick to point out (Like me) that it "Doesn't work". Perian + Quicktime might work well, but it still lacks in comparison to the "true" almost perfect compatibility. (MPC + CCCP is not perfect, but still higher than perian + quicktime). In case you didn't notice, .ogg files are rampant on BKBT (oops, almost used the wrong name). Your claim of conversion while true, still is not honest towards the playback capabilities of perian + quicktime equalling MPC + cccp.
So to be true...
Perian + Quicktime will play approximately 85-90% of all "media" files you will ever run into.
MPC + CCCP will play approximately 90-95% of all "media" files you will ever run into.
Both percentages are estimated. But the big "compatibility issues" are:
.ogg
.wmv
.rm
Amongst others.

Even so, a quick right-click --> Open With --> Mplayer OSX or VLC will remedy the OGM problem. It's hardly an issue.
WMV and RM are terrible formats and should be abolished.
