Mozilla CEO Objects To Safari Auto Install

with one comment

Apple SucksStraight from Slashdot: “Do you use iTunes on Windows? If so you may be getting the gift of Safari from Apple whether you want it or not, and Mozilla CEO John Lilly is not happy about it. After his daughter was offered Safari as a ‘bonus update’ with a recent update to her iTunes software, Mr. Lilly says on his blog, ‘What Apple is doing now with their Apple Software Update on Windows is wrong. It undermines the trust relationship great companies have with their customers, and that’s bad — not just for Apple, but for the security of the whole Web.’ He also pointed out the check box is already clicked when you go to update meaning you have to opt out, not in and that it lists Safari as getting an update even if you don’t have it installed.”
