I am extremely frustrated in this area. I'm very happily running 10.5.6.
I'm a firm believer in, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but somehow a
system update got past me and 'upgraded' me to iTunes 9. x (from 8.x).

Now I can't use the iTunes Store - popup says it requires Safari 4.

I don't use Safari at all. I CAN'T upgrade to Safari 4 (unless I'm
willing to update to 10.5.8 - I'm not, see above quote).

I feel it is extremely unprofessional of Apple to allow an installer to
run on a machine which does not meet minimum requirements. And further,
this silliness of requiring a specific browser if I want to send Apple
money is a piece of slime I thought only worthy of Micro$oft!

The store appears to be an HTTP/HTML based content with Itunes using
HTML rendering engine that is in Safari.

You me Apple now has a proprietary rendering engine? They've declared
their own standard? I though M$FT was pompous!

it's called webkit, and it's open source and one of the most standards
compliant render engines around. it's used not just by apple, but by
palm, nokia, google and others.
