Sorry, I missed the part where it becomes a dis-service!

Apple guilty of filling people's harddrives with stuff they might not use. Is software bundling a new sin invented by Apple?

And yes there is a difference between this and malware; malware tracks your actions and keeps popping up with recommendations. Safari, i assume, will sit iddly on your desktop until you intentionaly open it.

I also seem to notice that for the last 2 years, everytime I update my iTunes it seems to come automatically bundled with Quicktime and quicktime is something i hardly ever use, why is it that Mr Lilly didn't stand up for me against this violation before.

Mr Lilly, I detect paranoia, you fear that Apple's reach via it's ubiquitous iTunes threatens to shrink your browser market share.
