Safari Available On Windows Today!

Ok, so some of you guys have gotten sick and tired of Internet Explorer on Windows and have moved to Firefox for your internet browsing needs. On the Mac, we always had Safari - beautiful, minimalists look, and easy to use. I loved it until Firefox 2.0 came out. Safari was starting to show its age. It was incompatible (and slow) with a lot of flash sites as well as missing tiny little "new" features that were available on the rest.

But today, Safari 3 beta is out and I am back to using it. Apple fixed everything that I hated about it and made it better. The only thing is that since its beta on Tiger, the gui is still the same, no fancy Leopard GUI.

Major Changes:

1. Tabs are movable
2. Speed is just incredible - launching, page rendering
3. Compatible with all the sites that I visit (almost all, blogger is still a little wacky)
4. Flash is performing well - finally
5. Will have a new look in Leopard


I'm loving this new version despite the beta tag and I have no problems. I've been reading that a lot of people are having installing it, uninstalling it and so forth, but my experience was just flawless.

The coolest thing would be that Apple decided to release it for Windows too. Apparently its 2x faster than Internet Explorer and marginally faster than Firefox.

Windows-using friends, try it out and share your experience with me. Get it here
