Vista has granted your request.
Open the Default Programs control panel. Pick Set Program Access and
Computer Defaults.
From there you can set your default web browser among other things.
Doesn't OSX have anything like that?
Yep, it does.
Why doesn't Dave know about it?
Are you asking me to tell you the events that led to another person
NOT knowing something, Edwin? How did you figure I would go about
answering your inquiry?

"He doesn't know it since he fell asleep in class that day, I remember
it clearly even though I've never met him in my entire life" :-D
Sandman, seriously, what control panel allows you to choose your
default browser? As far as I can tell, the choice is made in Safari
preferences. Is there another way of doing this?
While there are freeware preference panes that add this, out of the box
you
cannot set your default browser in the System Preferences. It is a bit
silly.
Thanks for giving the correct answer. I'm not surprised to find Sandman
doesn't know what he's talking about.
Actually, he knows just fine.

You asked for something "like" what Windows has, and although it is in
Safari's preferences it is "like" what Windows has in that it lets you
set the default browser to any web browser you have installed.

Sandman claimed that OS X application preferences were "like" the Windows
control panel.

No, that isn't what he said. But that wont stop you from continuing to
lie about it. Poor pathetic snit. He just can't help but to be dishonest.

The fact is the *System* preferences are closer to the
Windows control panel. The fact Apple bizarrely has a system preference in
an application preference does not change this.

Another accusation against me from Steve Mackay.

And, of course, it will *never* be supported.

If you had asked me for evidence of my claims, Steve, instead of just
spewing off you would not have made as much of a fool of yourself.
