In my earlier post I covered how surprised I was to find Apple’s Safari as part of iTunes auto updating software this past week. It was an obvious push to gain market share by Apple in the browser wars. I mentioned in my earlier blog entry that I have nothing in the world against Safari as a browser, in fact next to Firefox I really like Safari and respect the way that it renders most sites in accordance to standards but the point I wanted to make was that had Microsoft pulled a stunt like this (..oh wait a minute, they have, I’m just saying…), we would be seeing the next round of Class Action Lawsuits rolling around.
I found an article confirming what I eluded to in my earlier post that by pushing out Safari to windows users that it had in fact violated it’s own EULA for the product. Here’s an excerpt along with link. Now, don’t get me wrong, you should download Safari and give it a test drive, it’s a great browser. Just a little restricting when it comes to plugins and extensions that are available for it…
Apple tried to push the latest version of its Safari browser onto as many computers as possible. But, in doing that, the company also encouraged users to violate the its own End User License Agreement (EULA) for Safari. Will now Apple sue itself?
