Oh yes I forgot, the world's largest operating system manufacturer has no original ideas of their own.

Bravo and it's about damn time.
It's pretty fast but is horribly inconsistent with the Windows UI paradigm. The font smoothing technique also throws me off since it's using its own engine.Xisiqomelir wrote:So, can one of you intrepid adventurers download the Windows Safari and tell us how it is?
I, obviously, have no access to any platform for testing it.

Safari is arguably the most pathetic browser in existence by virtue of the fact that's just Konqueror, albeit broken so that it wastes system resources with impunity. The thought of it on Windows really cracks me up...as if Windows users didn't have enough to worry about.

Really? Because it's a pretty remarkable achievement. I just learned about Windows Safari today, but I'm betting that a significant portion of the CoreFoundation and Objective-C runtimes came over to Windows to get it working. It's not YellowBox, but between Safari and iTunes, they're getting pretty damn close.RThurmont wrote:No but I will say that I'm literally laughing at the idea of Safari on Windows.
Incredibly enough, you've actually managed to voice a legitimate complaint, rather than your usual, uninformed crap.Safari is arguably the most pathetic browser in existence by virtue of the fact that's just Konqueror, albeit broken so that it wastes system resources with impunity.
No thanks, I think I'll pass. If I wanted to open up a lot of security vulnerabilities and massively degrade system performance on one of my Windows boxes, I'd just download Kazaa or some other random bit of malware instead-the same result, accomplished with greater efficiency.Download the new Safari beta and try it
So David Maynor, the disgraced researcher who couldn't demonstrate a vulnerability he made untold amounts of noise about, is now getting more press by claiming he's found six new vulnerabilities in Safari through "idle fuzzing". And conveniently, he doesn't report these vulnerabilities to Apple.RThurmont wrote:No thanks, I think I'll pass.

To be fair, Safari is beta, but still, my opinion of it remains the same.
It'll make it easier for devs to test websites for multiple browsers without buying additional hardware, at least.Xisiqomelir wrote:Safari for Windows, why?
The Mozilla foundation already does "better than IE".
I've installed the Windows version of Safari 3 Beta in a VM. It sucks terribly, every third page or so gives me an error and I have to hit refresh. It lacks the autoscrolling, but it DOES allow me to open and close tabs with the middle button.Middle mouse button doesn't do anything. Unlike Opera and Firefox, I can't open and close tabs with the middle button. No mouse gestures or auto-scrolling.
