once upon a time i was a consumer reporter for a good-sized newspaper. I love apple; like safari. But imho pitching it as a software update is deceptive, and i don't like that. Apple says it does things "different": why not have the pop-up box invite you to TRY safari instead of updating what you don't have? The update program searches the hard drive to see whether you need an update or not, so it knows whether you have the full safari app installed. Do the sales pitch with class. Deception's classless--whether or not others do it.
