Safari 3 (Public Beta); ... Now for Windows operating systems.

Blahblahblahyaddayaddayaddahahaha. And stuff.

It's about time... Apple only had Safari for Mac operating systems, but then now they head for Windows.

I'm posting here with the Safari 3 (Public Beta) and it's good, though could be a bit more customizable...
I don't know. Might be just me.

... *Starts playing around with resizable textareas*

Anyways, if you have the Safari 3 (public beta) browser and tried it out, how is it? Is it worth a port to a Windows OS? Discuss.

I think it is, Apple is trying to increse it's market share, and to try to sell more Macs. I wonder if they will bundle this with iTunes for windows...
(I have it on both of my Windows XP computers, but one of them has been bitten by the missing text bug.)

Who knows but as of right now, its just abunch of hype. Most people who have tested it out say the Windows version is extremely buggy, more Alpha than Beta. It crashes allot, sometimes the menus go blank, and there's times where it can display nothing but gibberish. So its definitely way too early for Apple to be releasing this. Plus, I doubt this will shake FireFox's popularity too much, though the browser will obviously gain popularity.

Plus, the only thing Apple made from scrach in Safari is the interface. The actual browser engine comes from the open-source KDE's Konqueror web browser's KHTML engine (KDE one of the interfaces, known as a "Window Manager", in for Linux) and Apple improved on its worked on the code and these improvements get distributed back to KDE as part of the GNU open-source program. So I am sure now because of this, people could port KDE Konqueror to Windows as well. Then again, Netscape did the same thing since Netscape was and still is just Mozilla's browsers branded under the Netscape name.
