"The Register has picked up on a recent Microsoft security bulletin which urges Windows users to "restrict use of Safari as a web browser until an appropriate update is available from Microsoft and/or Apple". This controversy comes after Apple has officially refused to promise to do anything about the carpet bombing vulnerability in the Safari browser. Essentially, Apple does not see unsolicited downloads of hundreds or even thousands of executable files to users' desktops as being a security problem."

Now while downloading a hundred files to your desktop won't automatically execute them, Microsoft's position is that a secondary attack could execute them for you.

Id like to see Safari work... its got potential i think... ive used it on a few customers Mac's, and it seemed pretty responsive as a browser, tho... ive seen it crash a few times, but that could be because of the Mac itself (not as a platform, just some laptops that come in look like they dont get much TLC)

It's just a theme? The ones I have installed have non visually pleasing buttons that look graphical. If it is just a theme I will remove it. It never came with a theme before... O_o
