RTFM no really, at least RTFScreen

     I recently read a News story on Cnet about Apple installing Safari through its software update on Windows. Apparently the CEO of Mozilla had real problems with this and called in Malware tactics.Now I can understand if Mozilla feels like Apple pissed in their cheerios by releaseing a Window version of Safari. The real issue here is NOT whether apple should install software via it's update program. The real issue here is that end users need to take the time to read the words that come up on their screen. People wonder why the Viagra and Russian Mail-Order bride advertisements are out there. It's because people know that most users just click at random. If you took the time to read the text, you would know what safari is and should have a good idea whether you wanted it or not. the real problem is that you cannot go to a department store and buy a computer with a non-IE web browser on it. At least Apple is trying to do something about that rather than sit tight like the Mozilla folks and bitch on IRC. The simple fact is that if you want to topple the web browser giant, you will have to use a few questionable tactics. not necesarrily bad tactics, but at least the SAME tactics that M$ used to distribute IE. You've got to do something. The claim that IE 8 will be standards compliant, but I cannot see that happening. We'll just hafta wait and see I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox just as much as the next geek, but they don't have a method to distribute to millions like Apple does.
