| That was quick. |

| Wow. Hope they ran it through some kind of QA. It takes 5x that long, even for super small software shops. |

I've pulled it from my system. Not because of Safari, but because of Quicktime.
Safari mandates the installation of Quicktime, and when it installed Quicktime took it upon itself to take control of ALL of my media types without bothering to ask. That's just wrong. Hell, even MS doesn't do that without asking. TL |

| #3 TL, Quicktime has had so many holes revealed this year that we've taken it off because there is no easy way to manage patch proliferation - and we didn't like what you saw, or how it peppers a computer when it is installed. |

| The REAL reason that security issues were found in the Windows version but not the OS X version is that the Apple Reality Distortion Field emitters still don't have Windows drivers.... ;) |

| TL - are you sure that it requires Quicktime? I see one download with Safari+Quicktime and another with just Safari. And the Windows requirements say nothing about Quicktime. I downloaded the Safari only package but I already had Quicktime installed. |

MrRoper's correct. There are two download options for Safari for Windows on Apple's site -- one w/ Quicktime (the default selection) and one without (the second option -- just like Quicktime has a download w/ iTunes included and also a standalone installer). Apple, of course, chooses the bundled option in both cases.
Here's a direct link to the browser-only download: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari3/061-3504.20070613.in7yT/SafariSetup.exe Betanews is another distribution option for the browser-only download: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Safari_for_Windows/1042667790/2 |

#6,
I'll have to look at that. I didn't notice. Thanks! TL |
