Apple The web has been abuzz the past two days with the 'news' that it was supposedly illegal to run Safari for Windows on anything but an Apple-branded computer. It was obviously a mistake, so I decided to run no story on it. Now, however, it has specifically been fixed by Apple; Ars decided to phone Apple PR, and they fixed the issue. The WebKit guys also offer a fix for the 'fuzzy fonts' issue on Safari for Windows.

if Apple force safari on any QT for windows update then at least make sure that software is without severe security issues.
Not to mention that installation of QT without safari is quite convoluted if during QT update safari can't be deselected.

What do you mean? A security vulnerability that can be exploited by using a filename that's "too long"? That's pure comedy gold - or at least an example of laughable-ineptitude.
