Re: Oracle vies with Apple to see who will be the supreme, , ASSHOLES in the entire universe
I am also annoyed by the recent trend of a bunch of different programs trying to sneak in McAffee AV. However, to be fair, while I am not using many Apple products, what I've used so far was not completely "soft and cuddly". I don't remember how it was most recently, but previously, QuickTime was annoyingly asking you every time if you wanted to install a "Pro" version or something... and it was also insisting on starting a part of itself upon computer booting. I was also startled by the fact that in order to start a brand new iPad (I only needed to make sure it was working), one has to install Apple junkware (aka iTunes) on a PC! (I don't like installing on my computer anything that I don't need.)

Apple updates don't come with unsolicited attachments, They're certainly not a PITA. In fact, they're optional. So I guess we're down to Oracle.
