Safari... Windows.... whaaaa?

Yup, writing this using the new Safari for Windows beta release, and I have to say I'm pleased with how it's working. It's a lot faster than the current Safari in Tiger, but it is version 3, so it should be. Our sites editor still doesn't work, so I have to write this in a plain-jane textarea box, but that's ok. Didn't see Safari being released for windows coming, but maybe I should have... look how popular iTunes turned out to be.

I know one thing for sure, Safari in my mac is going to get a lot less use now. Quite a bit easier to run here in XP than to use VNC to remote to my mac to test stuff.

And you know what else... this post was 3 times long than this, but safari for windows just cut a bunch of it out when posting and I went back to edit, which was there, posted again, even shorter, then going back was the shorter version for all backs. Boooooooooo

I did try the beta and it was noticably slower than MSN Premium, IE7, and Fire Fox, all of which I use. I guess they have alot of work to do, and after all, it is still in beta.

But if you go to the download website, they have preformance statistics that are just plain made up. Opera is slated slowest on HTML performance? Vs Safari 3 I dont know, but it Trounces IE 6, IE 7, and Firefox. They only explination that the Opera community can come up with is they are using Macintosh Opera for their speeds, where the browser is still realatively young and needs polish.

Wouldn't necessarily work on me, but I already have a mac, so there you go. Yeah, the speeds are non-sense for sure, I don't really notice much difference in FF,OP, and Win safari. Either way, I'm back in Firefox, where I should be. Tue Jun 12 2007 11:47PM
