[X-Apps] Safari warning...

[Bill Reburn]

I did - Steve specifically mentioned this is a Beta.. They can't make those
sheets any larger!

Good thing I didn't install this on my work machine, apparently the
installer renamed some users Home folders! Entire directories have been
erased/renamed.

Now Beta software is Beta software.. But just like that nasty iTunes inaller
fiasco a while back - this is a case of some really messy programming. No
way in heck - Beta or not, should a download wipe someone's Home directory!
or cause any of the other problems for that matter (in my case an invisible
tmp folder).

Makes me wonder what they're smoking when stuff like this happens -
unnacceptable Apple! come on!
