Since Apple CEO Steve Jobs guaranteed previous summer, Apple has begun leveraging its domination in the music download industry by pushing the Windows edition of its Safari Web browser to iTunes and QuickTime consumers running
Opening Tuesday, when Apple updated Safari to edition 3.1, the corporation has been posting the browser as a download in Apple Software Update, the service packaged with iTunes and QuickTime for Windows. Joe Wilcox, whom writes the “Microsoft Watch” blog, was the earliest to note the performance. “The Apple updater offered installation of fresh software, not something that had been there before. Whoa,” said Wilcox.
Computerworld has established that the update function offers Safari 3.1 to Windows technology that does not have the browser at installed present. Classically, updaters only inform consumers of, or in some cases download and install, updates to on hand software, and are hardly ever used to seed fresh software.
The move, though, must not have been a shock. Previous June, when Steve Jobs revealed Safari for Windows at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Seminar, he obviously tied the browser’s delivery to iTunes.
“But how are we going to hand out this? We don’t really talk to these consumers, do we?” Jobs asked, referring to Windows consumers. “What are we going to do? Well, it bobs up there are one million download of iTunes a day. Shows up there has been more than half a billion download of iTunes to Windows.”
In a declaration Apple released that same day advertizing Safari, Jobs also implied at the connection among iTunes and Safari. “Hundreds of millions of Windows users already use iTunes, and we look forward to turning them on to Safari’s greater browsing practice, too,” what he said.
