This is a good example of a defect that mostly affects the ignorant. I set up my browsers to download to a specific place that I specify for each download. So this would not really get me. I have not used Safari in a while, in either OS X or XP, but at least in OS X, I set up a regular user account that requires administrative account permissions to install anything, so I am not very worried about this exploit in OS X. I do agree that Apple should fix the problem - or stop providing Safari for Windows.
Mike, it is more pleasant for the list to make your point without being snarky, snooty, etc. Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- It's snooty, thank you. I can't really say I agree or disagree, I was just reading facts. In reality do I think the safari exploit matters in real world environment? Of course not, there is no money (yet) in attacking Apple products. This is if the tree falls in the forrest...if safari or os x has a vulnerability, does it matter since no one will exploit it? FYI, the safari issue exists on the os x side also, not just windows. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
