Hey, Apple Software Update, Hands Off my PC

Even though I’ve told multiple people my next PC will probably be a Mac (the 24″ iMac quite the seductress), Apple’s software seems to leave a lot to be desired. When I came into work this morning I was greeted with this on my desktop:

My first thought was, “I sure don’t remember installing Safari…  but, did I?” So I looked through was was installed on my PC and, no, it’s not there. Apple is seeing fit to leverage its position on my PC this it has with iTunes into being my browser. Too bad every Mac user I know has told me when I get the above described Mac to immediately install Firefox since Safari is teh $uX.

Microsoft took it up the poop chute when they forced IE7 out to everyone, yet this is somehow acceptable? I could see getting prompted for this svelte (as compare to iTunes) 22MB update if I had one of the preview versions of Safari installed, but I don’t. Sorry Apple, no I don’t want your crappy software, and furthermore, when I do, I’ll go get it myself. Until that time, pour yourself a nice tall glass of go eff yourself.
