I wonder if this will take a “bite” our of Apple’s sales?

I’ve been using Apple’s Safari 3.1 for about a week now, and I’m delighted. It is fast and very stable on XP, better than IE and Firefox in every measurable way.

If there is a downside I haven’t encountered it yet.

I hope this is resolved quickly - I don’t want anything to come between Mac users and their air of haughty superiority.

"Then it tried to force iTunes users to unintentionally download the browser as part of an iTunes update, which included a pre-checked install option for Safari."

I saw that earlier last week. Pretty stupid on Apple's part.

"Miller didn't even have to use new vulnerabilities also known for Safari. The first is a simple overflow attack using zip files."

Wow this is really dangerous as I know we all like to go to random websites and download unknown pc zip files on our macs.
