Why? Safari for Windows

Think of it as a bug scavenger hunt. I noticed one bug in the first five seconds of using it (doesn't obey requests to minimise other than via the minimise button) and another a couple of minutes later (doesn't display ALT/TITLE atributes for images. The example I have in mind is XKCD :P). One (the?) benefit of its nonstandard renderer is that it antialiases even under XP's rdesktop.

It will likely never be my first choice browser, but I'm happy that it exists if only so that there is one less excuse to use MSIE, and the vain hope that more Konqueror (yeah, yeah) bugs get fixed...

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I installed it at work this morning :)

Seems somewhat operational, but I've already written some nasty Firefox-only JS hacks to make our internal wiki a bit more bearable, so I'll likely just use it for non-work related stuff.

btw - know ye an easy way to convince Firefox to keep it's tabs the same size? It's really annoying trying to close several of them when the close boxes keep dancing around.

Interesting.
I'm quite fascinated as to why and how Apple is doing it.

According to St Jobs the First, as the new Apple iPhone uses Safari to run the UI, he wants to encourage people to use Safari, so they can get more developers to use it. Apparently Safari has plateaued in growth, simply because it has saturated the Mac user base, but that only accounts for 5% of all consumer PCs, so Safari (Until this point) couldn't grow beyond 5%.
