Apple doing the right thing with Windows software updates

Apple took a bit of a beating over its deceptive attempt to get Windows users to install its Safari browser, but according to Ryan Naraine's Security Watch, it's changing the dialogue box so that Safari is presented correctly as New Software rather than as an update. He notes:

The company is still pushing Safari down to Windows boxes (pre-checked by default, unfortunately!), but that download is clearly marked as new software, an important distinction that shows Apple is paying attention to the loud grumbles from its user base.


Well done, Apple!
