Just got some info on this and installed. Anyone know anything about it yet? I see Mozilla CEO is upset that it is sent out as an update.
I have Safari 1.3.2 (from 2005!) on my computer. I can't download the new version (3.1) unless I have OS X Tiger or Leopard -- since I have Panther, well . . I'm out of luck.I noticed it got installed automatically when I updated iTunes yesterday.

To be fair to Apple, there was a checkbox next to "Safari" on the Apple Software Update app. Unchecking it would've prevented installation.

I should clarify that I'm running Windows Vista. The OP didn't mention what was meant by the Mozilla CEO being upset by "an update" but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that Apple pushed it's browser down with the latest iTunes update so millions now have a browser on their desktop whereas with Firefox you'd have to go out to download/install yourself.
I tried Firefox, Camino and even Opera on my MacBook. I'm sticking with Safari because it runs better than any of the 3rd party apps. And 3.1 runs even faster! I love it!

Get on Safari, google Camino, download Camino and install it. Once it's on your system, delete Safari and any other browsers you have. They're all horrible in comparison to Camino.
...most Windows users aren't used to the Apple Software Update window and are too lazy to read...
Yeah, that never really bothered me either and I didn't understand the collective "harumph" from the online community back when MS decided to do that. There was nothing that said that IE had to be used.To be fair to Apple, there was a checkbox next to "Safari" on the Apple Software Update app. Unchecking it would've prevented installation.
To be fair to Microsoft, they were just putting their browser in with their Operating System.

Apple pulled a Microsoft.
That's correct. You have to be running either Tiger or Leopard to run Safari 3. Can't you run Tiger on your machine?I have Safari 1.3.2 (from 2005!) on my computer.

Yep!
