I don't trust Apple even more after this last stunt that they have pulled with Safari. As many network administrators have discovered this week, Safari is now standard with ITunes! I was actually surprised that Apple would pull this with their "loyal" followers. Maybe the other way to look at this is that they are pushing this junk onto users that don't necessarily know about or like Apple software. I do know that network admins now have a problem on their hands in getting rid of this garbage from their systems. It actually looks like Apple took a page out of the Microsoft or Adobe play book for this one. It seems like an "opt in" would be necessary to install this software but they have it set up for the opposite. Let's be honest, who actually reads the legal mumbo jumbo that pops up when installing or updating software? It's hard to read and even harder to understand unless you are the one that wrote it. Last week after the Pwn to Own contest, Safari came in last. Using the Safari browser, the hacker was able to get into the Mac and shut it completely down within 2 minutes. Do you really want this on your system? Hey, Safari actually makes Internet Exploder look like a better option! I will stick with FireFox, good luck everyone else.
