As far as I can tell, QT7 for windows hasn't been released yet. I'd like to check out one of the H264 trailers Apple has released but haven't found a way yet. Can you point me to something that can extract the content from the mov container and maybe some of the other H264 implementations will be able to decode it? Or better yet a plugin similar to Quicktime Alternative that supports H264.

The only player I thought would work was VLC but it didn't.

QT7 is the only player that will support H.264 right now. I believe? So the only way to view these would to have Mac with Tiger on it to support the Technology.

VLC plays H.264, and i think MPlayer does too. Although, from the one or two tests i've done, the quicktime-created H.264 files seem to be very optimized for quicktime, so VLC does a pretty poor job of playing them back. Some files played better on my original 12" PowerBook than on my Athlon64 PC. Your only real option might be to wait for QT7 for windows.

Link to a Windows H.264 player. (At the bottom of the table.)

It doesn't cost anything to use it, but it's only an alpha. For an alpha it works pretty well with Apple's H.264 stuff, but I guess the reason it's an alpha is because it doesn't work on all Windows machines. It works on most though.

Probably the easiest H.264 clip to test (esp. if you don't have a fast PC) is this trailer I encoded in QuickTime 7, using Apple's 1080p H.264 clip as the source.
