Apple Pushing Safari to Windows Users

Yesterday, I and many other people who have Apple products on their Windows installations (iTunes or QuickTime) received an “Apple Updates” popup. This is typical for me and I regularly install updates to iTunes + QuickTime. However, this update advocates to me that I should install Safari. It appears that Apple is now pushing its products Microsoft style. About a month ago, Microsoft sneaked its Silverlight package into Windows Updates. Microsoft has had a notorious reputation for forcing users to update. This is how it started with Microsoft. Is Apple beginning to go down the same path?Click to enlarge (full screenshot shows that I do not have Safari installed):
