Apple just released Safari for Windows XP and Vista. I must say that it is almost identical to the Mac OS X version (except for the minimize, restore/maximize, and close buttons), and it definitely has the nicest default skin. <developer talk> I assume that it uses the Webkit engine, and if it does, I can't wait to start trying out the <canvas> tag. </developer talk>

I got it right when the new site released. I've found it really nice, but kinda crashy (crashes every time I try and add a bookmark using the bookmark button and when reporting a bug).

Oh joy. Time to fix half the codes in the database.  Yeah, I got the beta as soon as Josh linked me. It's nice, but it messes with some sites. I'll be sticking with FireFox for the time being.

I've been wanting this for the longest time now. But does anyone know if it's better than firefox? Faster than firefox, and/or safer than firefox. Apple says it's better, but then again they might just be saying to make people choose it because it's their product. And does anyone know when the non-beta version is coming up? Windows and firefox are going to have some tough competition.

Took me a while to get it working on my Windows partition, 'cause I had too many fonts installed.
That caused the menu to have a two-letter offset and some pages to not display anything. I fixed it by editing the Fonts.plist in the Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/Safari folder, or something like that.
Overall, it's quite fast, and doesn't crash for me, but I can't live without my mouse gestures. I'm sticking with FF until I figure out how to add some add-ons.

Safari sucks. Yesh I faced the same problem with the fonts.plist file -- In my comp, it was listing fonts till only "L" and everything after that vanished. So I started with invisible menu and websites with verdana or tahoma font as blank. Thats been fixed now. Opera opens sites 5 times as fast as Safari. Don't see whats the hype abt. And yesh it takes as long as Firefox 2 to start.

I don't like how it doesn't match my system.

tobias, i love you! My safari was doing that too, but got it fixed  Windwaker, Safari 3's official release is when Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) comes out, in october. And also, you can run the tests, safari does excel quite nicely over FF and IE.

I dont know abt that comparison wit FF --- it might start a lil faster than FF - but FF still has tons of awesome features and renders web-pages almost flawlessly whch is more than I can say for Safari. Obviously u cannot compare Safari with Opera. Opera is superior and in its own class altogether.
