Apple Pushes Safari Via iTunes Update
Can't get market share the good old-fashioned way? How about sneaking your browser onto systems, then?

Since Apple released the 3.1 version of its Safari browser on Tuesday, it's been offering Safari via its Apple Software Update applet. That's not really a big deal. What is a little more of a big deal is that it's offering it as an "update" even to those users who never had Safari installed.

Sure did, I don't use iTunes but I do have quicktime installed, annoys the hell outta me that every time an update pops up for Quicktime, the iTunes checkbox is ticked. Same with Safari, checkbox was ticked automagically, I'll decide what my system needs... thanks anyway Apple!

Yes, I strongly dislike that they force all of the "updates" on you by default. Its not a horrible browser, my main problem is if I wanted my browser to look like a Mac I'd buy a Mac. I expect my software to make use of the Windows themes even if its just for the title bar. If it weren't for the fact that I can leave iTunes minimized all of the time I'd be finding an alternative for that too. Dull gray windows just make me feel depressed.

So now the update for Quicktime is going to pester with Safari, as well as Itunes.

Makes even Real look like good guys!
