Safari for Windows Review

Ok guys, well its not as good as i hoped it would be. Safari for windows doesn't offer any new killer feature on top of FireFox 2.x that would make you want to switch. It good for novelty value no doubt, but FireFox is faster, leaner, does everything better except maybe the built-in RSS reader. I sort of like the trademark simple RSS interface. Any page with an embedded RSS feed shows a small RSS button in the address bar. Just clicking that opens up the RSS reader which is very simple and intuitive to use; not at functional as google reader.. I personally use the google reader and like the complexity... but many will prefer the simplicity of the Safari reader.

Have a look at the detailed review by Micheal Calore at wired for more info on the subject...

Safari for Windows

Now this is exciting; Apple's home grown web browser for the Mac Safari now has a windows version. Although still in beta, Safari 3 for WinXp and Vista is now available for download from Apple.com. So, what so cool about this browser and what does it bring to the PC browser market which is dominated by Firefox and IE with Opera way behind in third place.

This is the question that I will be answering after i put it through the paces, i am downloading it as we speak. At 7.6mb its pretty compact, Apple is advertising it as being faster at running javascript than Firefox. This will be important given that the web is now all about functionality and creative uses of Ajax. I am also very curious to see the interface, given Apple's Legendary UI design. You can go and checkout the key features at http://www.apple.com/safari and download the beta. I recommend that you do give it a try.
