  The dialog box does contain the word "update."  One could assume
that is intended to indicate that the Apple software is already
installed and a new version is available.  That could be confusing,
especially if the software package has never been previously
installed.

  Adobe is constantly having it's Adode Reader pushed upon computer
users.  That is accomplished by claims that in order to read any PDF
document, Adobe Reader is required.  You will see that claim made on
almost any website that offers documents in PDF format.  Those sites
could simply say that a PDF reader is required, but instead, they say
that the Adobe Reader is required, and offer a link complete with the
Adobe logo for users to click on to get the reader download.

  As has been stated on this site many times before, when it comes to
commercialization, there are almost no limits.  For some fun and
enlightenment, search on "Yes Men."
