iTunes is installed on my Vista PC, as I am sure it is on many millions of Windows computers. Apple bundles a version of Apple Software Update with iTunes, apparently to push updates of iTunes/Quicktime down to iTunes users. Imagine my suprise when Apple Software Update popped up with an 'update' that it wanted me to install: Safari 3.1 for Windows.
The thing is though, I do not have Safari installed on my machine. Which means Apple is using Software Update not to push new versions of iTunes down to users, but to push Safari for Windows to their massive iTunes installed base. Apparently Apple thinks this is acceptable. For the record it is not.
It appears that quite a few people, and Mozilla, would agree that this is a bad move by Apple.
