Pigs Fly

Well its a great day for web development (or is it?). Apple has released Safari 3.0 for Windows Beta. You can download it from http://www.apple.com/
This is sortof how I view this release:
It will in theory be an advantage to developers if the browsing engine matches closely enough the version the most MacOS users have. Right now, it doesn’t. I immediately noticed inconsistencies in the display engine, meaning I’ll now have an additional platform to test on. I sincerely hope this is a safari 3.0 thing, not a safari Windows thing. ANYWAY.. thats not necessarily a criticism – just an initial observation.
A criticism (if there is any to be had) would be with the inconsistencies between versions of the Safari display engine.
Still. Its pretty awesome to have a PC native version of Safari! Go get a copy!

I installed it on my Vista box without difficulty, but there is also a point release already so try 3.0.1 I think it is..

Agreed. We’re working on it this month, as a matter of fact.
