Safari for Windows

Anyone download the Safari browser for Windows?

I checked it out and it seems to work pretty well. Other than that, nothing too special that I can see so far.

I tried it and had problems. There was no text on any of the toolbars, etc. Just a line where text would be. From what I have seen, it is a known problem. I will wait a while before I try again. I do like Firefox, so I am not in a hurry to change, but it was worth a quick try.

Remember, it's still a beta - that means it's unfinished and will have some things missing and some bugs.

I understand that. I have even tried Alpha's of Firefox. Never had a problem that I had no text though.

It is nice to try other things at times. If it wasn't, I would never have used Firefox or Thunderbird.

Those things work on the mac, I can't imagine they are not available on Windoze.
