Defenseless

So your defenses for Apples behaviour are

1) They've done it before (with quicktime) - Having priors is hardly a good thing. I critise Apple for this too
2) Other companies have done it - Yes and they got negative feedback for it too so why shouldn't Apple.
3) Malware means pop-up ads or keystroke logging??? No one said Safari was Malware - we said it is using the same delivery method - offering software you want but sneaking in software you probably don't want. Worse still this does not occur at software installation but bundles in with a security update which I have not seen any company do.

If Firefox installed Thunderbird or worse still a completely unrelated product in with the next security update wouldn't you complain?
It seems that Apple have users under some kind of spell where they can do what they like and their users will justify it regardless.
