You misunderstand.  I'm pushing out QT patches, not Safari.  My comment was
about the self-installing updater.

And no, I would go Firefox before Safari, but I honestly don't see the point
for supporting 2 browsers in a business environment without a business need.
I haven't had anyone complain about not having a 2nd browser.  Most have
never heard of Firefox, but I put it on all of our PC giveaways anyway.

FoxIt is a very nice, lightweight, open source PDF reader.  It's fast and I
don't think has any exploits, unlike Adobe Reader.  I put it on all of our
laptops when AR 8.0 was constantly nagging us for updates and locking up the
computer when you tried to shut down.
