Apple's Safari Internet Browser is now available for download for Windows users. It is a BETA version, so there are bound to be bugs.... But, doesn't hurt to try it!

Of course it is only Beta, really you shouldnt install anything Beta on a PC you want to use regularly...
"David Maynor, infamous for the Apple Wi-Fi hack, has discovered bugs in the Windows version of Safari mere hours after it was released. He notes in the blog that his company does not report vulnerabilities to Apple. His claimed catch for 'an afternoon of idle futzing': 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities." http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/07/06/12/0120230.shtml

Sky you use Firefox on Mac? I've gone over this time and time again. Checking stats and loading different sites. I still go with Safari...but im always curious if Firefox is faster. My Mac guys say Safari. Windows (if I have to) def Firefox.

True, but there is a few pages that cannot opet right, mostly with some Java coding or similar. But they fix more and more in every update that comes almost every month :)

I guess it just depends on what sites you go to.
I've been using Safari since it's release in early 2003 and never hit a page that it can't open.
EXCEPT (I had to think hard for it) when Buy.com tried to block us (the Mac community) Safari users by denying servive to anyone logging in with Safari because we ridiculed them when they launched BuyMusic.com and their CEO said that they would bury iTunes because Steve Jobs was "on the wrong platform" (Scott Blum is a frickin' genius and BuyMusic died soon after...lol!):
"...After 16 days of operation, the iTunes Music Store had sold 2 million songs. Industry analysts continued to swoon over the service, and everyone seemed happy.
On the BuyMusic front, things are looking decidedly less rosy. The service has, however, clearly sold a song or two. "Not millions," though, according to the company megaphone/lampshade on his head and life of the 1999 party Scott Blum. This statement is even sadder considering the sheer size of the Windows market.
Somehow Apple managed to sell 2 million songs to a very small percentage of personal computer users. But BuyMusic can't sell millions to a market more than ten times the size?..."
Anyways, we just installed the free open source "Safari Debugger" http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10607/safari-debugger , changed our User Agent to "windows IE", and went kept doing whatever we wanted. =)
So for me it comes down to open source based KHTML Safari or bloated (which is why it's slower) Mozilla based Firefox. I'll suport KHTML Safari.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really have a problem with Firefox and happily used it until this week on the windows side of my Mac, but for me it's all about ABIE: Anything But Internet ExploDer.
Anyone that plans on getting an iPhone better get used to Safari anyway as it's going to be the default browser... how many more users do you think just THAT is gonna add to Apple's Safari installed user base?! =P
Hopefully here, more people than me see the underlying reason for making Safari for windows... this is just another small step forward in our long march ahead... and we LOVE it. ;)
- iPod Mac = iPod windows
- iTunes Mac = iTunes windows
- BootCamp, Parallells, VMWare, Cider = windows and/or windows applications on Mac running natively or via virtualization
- AppleTV = Mac + windows PC
- Safari Mac = Safari windows
- iPhone (with default Safari browser) - Mac + windows PC
- iLife Mac (as sky requested) = DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT FREE VERSIONS OF THOSE APPS (like iTunes & Safari) FOR WINDOWS.
