Safari 3.1 is available immediately as a free download at Apple’s Safari website for both Mac OS X and Windows users. Safari software updates will also be delivered seamlessly through Apple’s Software Update application, which automatically checks for updates.

Safari 3.1 for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X Leopard or Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.11, a minimum of 256MB of memory and is designed to run on any Intel-based Mac or a Mac with a PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor and built-in FireWire. Safari 3.1 for Windows requires Windows XP or Windows Vista, a minimum of 256MB of memory and a system with at least a 500 MHz Intel Pentium processor.

The latest version of the Software Update tool for Windows, version 2.1.0.110, now clearly lists software that can be downloaded via the service and groups the updates into those for applications already on the user’s computer and updates for new software.

The new version of Software Update also gives users the ability to turn off the service.

In modifying Software Update, Apple was clearly responding to widespread criticism that the service downloaded Safari 3.1 onto users’ systems surreptitiously.

We went to the Apple store in Towson Town Center and priced out the model he wanted, which came to about $1,300. Out of curiosity, I wandered over to a Dell computer kiosk a few yards away and found a 13-inch laptop with nearly identical components, and I mean identical. The two computers were priced less than $50 apart: aside from the color of the case (Dell red versus Apple white), the substantive difference was the operating system.

Apple has not commented on the upstart - and it may not have to. It can always sabotage the usurper by issuing updates that won’t run on the alien machine, or that disable it. Apple has done that with iPhones that users have hacked to run on wireless carriers other than Apple’s chosen, AT&T.

Make no mistake: Apple equipment remains very much at the fringes of mass computing. Its share of the personal computing market rose 30% in 2007, according to market research firm IDC.

Let’s be real though: That whopping increase was because the number was so low to start. Apple computers claim just 5.7% of the PC market.

But Apple and a host of other companies are trying hard to change that with some interesting new tools that can help you be more productive and profitable and make Apple equipment easier to integrate into your small business.

And considering what a leap upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista has turned out to be for many small businesses, Apples have become reasonable choices — particularly for Read more » »
