It is "unproductive and silly" *for Apple* to not check these boxes. Apple can't predict how *you personally* will vote. Apple does (and should) assume that its products are of good quality and well liked. There is little evidence that this is not the case. For Apple to assume otherwise would be nuts. Heck, even MS thinks its products are of good quality and well liked, despite lots of evidence to the contrary. Their last major IE update was forced down on everyone as a "critical" update. You had to stand on your head to avoid it. If you want to be annoyed, what MS did was far more objectionable. Apple is not forcing anyone to run Safari. They are not denying you updates if you fail to use Safari -- just try going to update.microsoft.com with anything other than IE and read their friendly greeting. Now that is annoying! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
