I'm curious, why should I bother installing Safari at all?  I mean what does Safari do that IE7 doesn't?

Apple have always claimed that their software is inherently more secure than Windows however we now find vulnerabilities have been discovered in the much vaunted Safari browser within a few hours of its release http://www.techworld.com/security/news/index.cfm?newsID=9128&pagtype=all

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Windows OS or it's applications are more secure than Mac just that perhaps Apple shouldn't be so quick to always claim the moral high ground on the issue of security as it seems that Apple is just as capable of providing insecure software as Microsoft or anybody else for that matter.

Actually, Apple doesn't really hype its Windows software.  They want you to use their OS and hardware. Wink

the buzz on Engadget is that Safari for windows falls way short of what Steve Jobs was mouthing off about. hell, i'm pretty used to him giving empty promises and speeches (my 5G Video ipod doesn't last 2/3rd of the 12 hrs i was promised).

the buzz is, it renders some pages ugly, doesnt have the compatibility of firefox, for some it's actually slower than firefox and IE and it has some annoying features.

that said, it could be argued that it's a beta version and we should cut it some slack, but not many people were ready to forgive IE7 beta it's flaws, so we oughtta judge 'em both with the same weighty stick!

You don't have to rely on "the buzz on Engadget".  You can download the damned thing and test it!

Personally, I think the browser is pretty good, though it consumes more memory than Firefox, which is a no-no.

Actually had a feel of the Browser,  Its ok, cool but One good disadvantage >>It loads Multimedia/Pictures etc before texts on websites,
Thereby making it slow in loading the Entire page,  Angry Undecided

I've tried it. I downloaded and installed the 3.01 version but upgraded last week to 3.02Beta. It's good, it's fast but it's as buggy as naija roads. I'm back to my Firefox 2.0.0.5 sha. If there's another version I might upgrade and try it again since I love the way the History on the pull-down tab arranges the pages visited with dates.

On it being a beta release; I started using Firefox as at 0.0.7beta and it hung less and consumed way less memory.
