Internet & Networking For companies like Microsoft and Mozilla, Safari coming to Windows means that one more competitor will be thrown into the Windows browser battlefield. While neither company has expressed dismay with Apple's decision to put Safari on Windows, on Monday executives from both Microsoft and Mozilla expressed a lack of concern for their new (Windows) foe.

I'm surprised you haven't been modded down for this troll.

Microsoft bought, what, 2% of Apple stock in 1997? Two Microsoft browsers indeed - what rubbish!

true enough, microsoft has nothing to do with apple's products, they just invested to save face. they bought no patents, collaborate on none of the core products each other are working on (exceptions MIGHT be bootcamp, and in the application ports each company has devised) to say apple is a microsoft company is unfounded and completely rediculous. Thats like screaming Apple is my company because I own some shares.

What? Just do some reading, MS and Apple are two very different companies, with different target markets, different design philosophies, and different business practices. Research is important.
