Thank you Apple

There are 2 big security holes in Safari for Windows, and I thought this quote was rather funny.

"The latest version of Safari for Windows makes a mockery of end user licensing agreements by only allowing the installation of Safari for Windows on Apple labeled hardware, thereby excluding most Windows PCs."

The key thing is that they are feverishly working on solutions, isn't that wonderful?

Just the other day I spoke of a 95/100 Acid Rating.. well last night they achieved 100/100.

Here is the article about Apple making themselves look foolish.

Apple Forbids Windows Users Installing Safari for Windows

I thought about installing Safari about a month ago, when I found out they made it for Windows now, just to give it a go. But. I read a review that gave the version out then a very bad rating. It may have been improved since then.

I always hated that in order to get Quicktime, you would have to download iTunes, something I don't want or even use :evil: I found something that will play Quicktime movies along with almost ever other format of video.

Safari on Mac is infinitely better than Safari on Windows. Some pages that would render on Safari on my Mac wouldn't load properly in Safari for Windows.

It's a superb browser, don't get me wrong, but the people who ported it to Windows did a terrible job.
