Alright Apple, You have pissed me Off

I am sure all of you have heard and/or seen Apple's move to get Safari on the PC, but I have noticed for a long time Apple trying to push iTunes on to computers also. On my laptop I had to install Quicktime to watch some video a while back. Now they want me to install iTunes+QuickTime as an update to QuickTime. Then to add to it, the Apple Software Update app would try to install both and update the QuickTime as well as the combined pack. That process doesn't seem like it would work correctly.
Now on another note, I decided to read through the License for use of Safari. I pulled out two bits:
Updates: If an Apple Software update completely replaces (full install) a previously licensed version of the Apple Software, you may not use both versions of the Apple Software at the same time nor may you transfer them separately.
THE APPLE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE APPLE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
Alright, the second one I am sure is just in there to protect them, but I find it very funny. Now for the first one... are they saying that it is against their license to have two versions of a web browser on my machine? They must not realize that there are some web designers out there that like to test their site on every version possible.
As for me, I just bought a Zune, that is all I have to say.
