Apple trying to sneak Safari onto Windows boxes - it’s for your own good
Hey, how are ya? If this is your first time here, welcome! You might want to think about subscribing to our RSS feed to get the latest updates, or you can even follow me on Twitter. I’ll even follow you back, I think that’s the very least I can do!
For those of you in the barren wastelands of Windows World, please take heed. If you’ve got either iTunes or Quicktime on your system, you should be getting some sort of notice from your software update that you’ve got another piece of software to download. And that software is Safari.Full disclosure time: I’m a Mac guy. I bought my first Mac two years ago and haven’t looked back. I’m actually going full out in a few days as I bequeath my last remaining HP desktop to my little brother before I move into my new place. Then I’m done with Windows, I miss nothing and I regret nothing.
Some folks are saying that what Apple is doing with this latest software update borders on spyware-like infiltration. Others say it’s just plain wrong.
I disagree. Apple has to do something to get more Windows users to switch. They first gave them the majesty of Quicktime. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. Then, along came iTunes. With this little piece of wonderment (and a little help from the iPod), some more folks crossed over into the promised land and bought a Mac. Thankfully by this time OS X was there to greet them and a fun time was had by all that joined.
But there’s still a few of you Windows knuckleheads that haven’t figured it out yet. Apple probably thought that Vista would be enough of a disaster to make you switch without having to put forth any extra effort, but no. You refuse to see the truth that lies before you.
You still want to stick with Windows. So, Apple has no choice. They have to shove one more piece of software down your throat to make you see the error of your ways and show you the light.
I only have one question…
Why the hell did they choose Safari to be said piece of software? I mean, C’mon! Why couldn’t they have ported Keynote or Pages over to Windows? Did it really have to be Safari? The crappiest web browser on the planet?
Sorry, Windows peasants. The overlords have chosen poorly with this one. Next time we decide to install software on your computers without really telling you what we’re doing, we’ll try to make it something worthwhile. My apologies from everyone here in magic Apple Land for trying to deceive you. We’ll do better next time.
Or, we could just give you TextEdit.
