Apple has released the new Safari 3 Public Beta which can work on Windows XP or Vista. It's the first time that Safari works with Windows. Is this related to the meeting between Bill and Jobs :-)?
According to Apple, there are 12 reasons you'll love Safari:
- Blazing performance (Apple said Safari is twice as fast as IE7, don't know whether its' true or not, at least I didn't feel it)
- Elegant user interface (It does look good. Apple is good at it, isn't it?)
- Easy bookmarks (not that special, I think)
- Pop-up blocking (everyone does this)
- Inline find (very handy feature, even better than Firefox, much much better than IE7)
- Tabbed Browsing (both Firefox and IE7 do it)
- SnapBack (could be useful)
- Forms AutoFill (others do as well)
- Built-in RSS (others do as well)
- Resizable text fields (could be handy)
- Private browsing (I won't care this too much, but some people do)
- Security (hard to say)
- Feels like working in an iTunes (I'm not a Mac person at all)
- It works fine on my office computer which runs Windows XP
- Not very well on my home computer which runs Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, every time I maximum the window, it disappears.
- Overall, nice try. But I won't use it as my main browser, still prefer Firefox 2 70% of the time, and IE7 for the rest 30%
