XP Windows update still expects you to be using IE, but you can use the
IE TABS to get it to work in Firefox.

I like how once again Apple is forcing users to upgrade their OS if
they
want to run the newest Safari. Good thing they have no market share

speak of.
It looks like either you or somebody you read saw that one option for
getting Safari is via the
Well decent is relative I suppose. Hundreds of millions of windows users
and 6 million using safari isn't a huge number. Was the number 8.43%
including mobile?
Perhaps I wasn't clear, a new version of safari is shipping with snow cat,
this version of safari won't run on earlier versions of os
Apple will commonly issue different installers for different versions
of the OS. The installer for the older OS version will install
additional libraries that won't be needed with newer OS versions
because those libraries are included with the OS.
Safari 4 is already out. Web developers
Well what I know, and what I've read in blogs and heard on podcasts are
different. I understand from watching/reading/listening to tech news that
the version of Safari that is shipped with snow cat won't be able to be
installed on leopard. This just seems an oddity to me.
You even imply in your
Well in my defense, it's exceedingly difficult to keep up with your changing
of the subject just enough to make your argument so 'you win' no matter
what.
It's interesting that the irony of the fact that safari is so tied to the OS
that it can't be run on previous OS's is lost completely on mac
Apparently the Snow Leopard version of Safari 4.0 is a 64 bit application
which won't run in the previous versions of OSX.

I'll assume you don't realize, but you can run 64 bit code in leopard.

AFAIK, All software is linked to an operating system.
Apple software is not intricately linked; that is, it is very easy
to run the OS without any other installed software; removing any
application, even those supplied by Apple, is easy and does not
adversely affect the OS.
Put wget on each machine, and a whole bunch of batch files with a single GUI
interface to wget such that the installer/user can click on the browser of
choice and download it. Then folks will complain about the ordering of the
picklist.
The real question is whether users will have to install

So much smarter than those regulators from Old Europe, M$ has
announced that the European version of Win 7 will ship with no
software to access the Internet. Take that you croissant eaters who
