Apple targets Windows users

They're becoming as annoying as Microsoft with their pre-installed Internet Explorer.

Should've known they were no better.

Long live Mosaic!

IE is safe... for now

Safari for Windows is, in one word, crap. It's not a theat to IE or Windows. Firefox on the other hand...

If THIS is their best attempt to get people to switch from Windows to OS/X, then Apple have failed miserably.

So called, "font smoothing", that leaves you with text you can't read, missing script functions that both IE and Firefox support, and a total refusal to conform to the Windows GUI standards, displays clearly Apple's contempt for Windows users.

Creepy

You must be alert when installing stuff, I already noticed that even when I deselect 'keep updated automatically' quicktime's installer still installs that apple updater and basically tries to not have you notice, sony-style.
I always remove such crap promptly but you need to really watch closely to even find out what nonsense most installers sneak in.
Perhaps someone should start a site/wiki called installercreep.com and list all those 'legit' trojans.
