Come on Safari!

APPLE SAID yesterday that it's offering the latest release of its Safari web browser to Windows users through Apple Software Update.

The compnay is targetting Windows users in a bid to get them to switch to Fruitware.

It installs an annoying wee program called Software Update when users install its Itunes or Quicktime products.

Now it is is using the Update program to to push Safari to Windows users. Some Itunes users report that the box to sign up for Safari appears pre-ticked.

We'll give even odds that the Vole might decide to do something about that. µ
