More on Safari

If there's one thing that really annoys me about big software companies, it's  assuming that a user will want to install extra software or change their homepage. There's a hint of this today in the Apple Software Update utility.

image If you have iTunes installed and run the update utility it includes Safari, even if it has not previously been installed on the computer.

I accept this is a helpful tip and there might be advantages to (yet) another browser on my computer. But I don't think this is the best way to promote it as it is too easily confused as an update rather than new software.

The good news is that it does not take over as the default browser.
