With the latest update of the iTunes software for Windows, Apple suggests users to update Safari (even if they didn’t previously installed it!). This move has been criticized by many, as Mozilla CEO, since they compare Apple to Microsoft, when it added Internet Explorer pre-installed to Windows systems. Updated statistics say that Safari has a share of 5.7 % in the Internet, just after IE and Firefox. With this move maybe Apple wants to gain a bigger share in the browser war, and it does this claiming that Safari is

“fastest and easiest-to-use browser for the PC. It displays web pages faster than any other browser and is filled with innovative features — all delivered in an efficient and elegant user interface”

as states by the updater program in a pop-up screen. Some report that Safari is really a more standard compliant and faster browser, maybe with this move Apple will significantly increase the Safari market share over the main two competitors.
