Safari for Windows
I'm sure you guys have heard that Apple released a beta of Safari for Windows. Now why would Apple release a piece of free software for use on Windows? Now you have two browsers you need to maintain and make sure is secure. I heard that Apple gets good revenue from the Google search bar - is that enough to release a previously Mac only browser for Windows? What's your take?

Is Safari the web browser that Mac uses?
-Le
Yes, Safar was released about 3 or 4 years ago only on the Mac. This will be the first time Windows users will be able to use it!
I have tried Safari for Windows. I would have to verify that this thing is a screemer for speed. Pages load even quicker than Firefox. I think Apple's plan for Safari is to help breakup MS browser monopoly. Firefox has already cut into that but still 78% still use Explorer. Maybe Apple didn't want MS to be able to rewrite the standards because they have so much of the market. They have done this in the past. Special HTML that only works in IE.
I still like Firefox the best even if a little slower. The plugins are a great idea. If you are missing something, someone will eventually create a plugin. Apple should do the same with Safari. But I doubt they will.
