I’ve been reading some complaints that Apple are sneakily installing software into the Windows OS. The way it works is that you install, say QuickTime, and then the software upgrading software for that installs Safari when you only intended to upgrade QuickTime. A quick search of the web took me to this report on the issue.
I use a Mac, but I do have Windows XP which I run with Parallels Virtual Desktop. Yesterday I installed QuickTime in it, the QuickTime installer gave me this dialogue:
It looks like there is an option to Automatically update QuickTime and other Apple Software. However it doesn’t say install other Apple Software. Anyway I’m going to let nature take its course. When I am told I need a QuickTime update I will see what happens and report back.
