Hey Ed!
Apple's way of pushing their browser is worse than the way Microsoft pushed their browser?
At least Apple didn't integrate Safari into Windows, shoving it upon unsuspecting and/or unwilling users, and then tried to block all the others by forcing OEMs to only install Safari or face a crushing retribution.
There is a button to the left of the "Install" button called "Quit" or you can even uncheck the check box next to it. So you see Ed, you don't have to install Safari if you don't want it, but you didn't have a choice with Explorer, but that's OK, right?
I'm not saying Apple is right, but to say Apple can learn from Microsoft how update an OS/software is ludicrous at best.

More anti-Apple ranting from a paid MS shill.
