We will have to see how it goes on Windows. 😀
He said Safari was “the fastest browser on Windows”, saying it was twice as fast as Internet Explorer.
A test version of Safari 3 for Windows XP, Vista and Apple Macs running OSX, is available for download from the Apple website. Apple is hoping to replicate the success of iTunes, which has proved enormously popular on both Macs and Windows machines.
“We think Windows users are going to be really impressed when they see how fast and intuitive web browsing can be with Safari,” said Mr Jobs.
Mr Jobs used the conference to lift the lid on new features of its forthcoming operating system (OS) for Macs, called Leopard.

You can download it from here.
Here is the Apple webpage announcing it.
Comments: The first thing I can distinguish of it is that I can’t see the words which are underlined from my blog at wordpress.com. And then an error came and the browser shut itself…
It really is a beta yet. 🙂 We will have to wait:
While it’s marvelously stable, a few snags reminded us that Safari is still a beta. It occasionally renders pages incorrectly and seems to have problems with Cascading Style Sheets in particular. It also displays Shockwave animation somewhat slowly. User preferences are limited; there’s no way to set the cache size or stop animated gifs from cycling, and you won’t find AutoFill or AutoComplete options like those in IE. Also, we missed the favorites/history/page-holder panel available in IE.
But:
That said, Apple has included a feedback button on the toolbar, so users can report problem sites. The company plans on addressing problems for the as-yet unscheduled gold release.
I am not the only one underlining the problems of this beta. I German.
A security hole has already been discovered in it.
Hmmm, I might own a MacBook, both I’m not willing to change my beloved Firefox for that horrible Safari. Not even if it’s a new version.
both meant but.
😀 very good, snipfer. It was totally clear.
I like more Opera than Firefox. But well, I am going to try it, when it has less flaws.
Don’t you think camino is better for Mac? It’s a question.
And by the way, I hope you’re luckier than me buying a mac… 😦
Camino and Shiira –Camino based on firefox and Shiira on safari– are both good browsers. If you don´t miss the addons features from firefox you will work just fine with them, they are just more coherent with Mac OS X themes.
Hola, que tal?
I don’t like Apple/Mac. Maybe it is a matter of getting used to it.
Different subjects: I wrote a couple of entries on Kurds following your suggestion. Not sure if you saw them.
Also, there is a new piece on drugs and mullahs on my blog which may be of interest, plus a personal account from another blogger.
Question: How do get the dates underlined in the calendar on the sidebar? Plz let me know here or email me: iranian.plateau@gmail.com
Last but not least, like the new look of your blog! did you change the template? looks great!
Snipfer: my problem with Firefox is that I begin adding things and it ends being very heavy indeed. The extension I like most is Blogrover. And the one that I really am missing in Opera. But the latter is more interesting browser, considering that it has also a mail program inside of it and a very complete RSS reader -with alerts when you have new items-.
I am also missing the “Blog it from…” that both IE and Firefox have. 😦
But in general I am very happy with it…
hola, Plateau!
Yes, well, I like them, but I have had so many problems to buy them that I have thought: “next time, perhaps” 😉
I have seen your posts about Kurds and about the drugs and I am going to write about them -but there is so much to write these days that I do not have enough time! 😀 -.
Oh, that about the calendar: go to Presentation, widgets and there you have something which says “Calendar”. I will add you to my contacts list. 🙂
Thanks! Yes, I changed it. Some people even tell me I change it very much, but I think this is clearer than the last…
