This is wrong. Ant-trust law is based on abuse of a dominant market position. Apple does not have one (especially in browsers). MS does.
I am an Apple customer and stock holder, but I think this is wrong ONLY due to the fact that the Safari update is apparently checked by default (I have not seen this personally). Offering software via update is fine in my opinion, as long as it isn't installed by default.
Also, I think webkit is used by itunes, so most of what Safari uses for rendering is already installed on itunes using machine already.

PS I use Firefox (and Safari) on the mac, and I like it. Having another browser option on the PC is a good thing.
