Apple retreats over Safari push
Apple has changed its software update tool for Windows users so that it separates updates for already-installed programs from offers to install new software.
Last month, John Lilly, Mozilla's CEO, took Apple to task for using the update tool, familiar to Windows users as the mechanism for updating iTunes, to push the Safari browser to people who had not previously installed the program. Lilly said the practice "undermines the Internet" and "borders on malware distribution practices." Lilly's comments, which appeared in a blog post, raised a furore, with Apple defenders calling his criticisms, among other things, a "mountain out of a molehill" and a "load of crap." http://www.techworld.com/security/ne...S&NewsID=12039
