It's nice that Apple pushed Safari 3 final to Tiger. I mean it RAN on Tiger so was there a doubt that it wouldn't go final?
It'll be time for Windows too. :p

I wonder how many Windows users actually use Safari now though. Any official figures ?
Has this latest beta removed some of the Mac-centric shortcuts and stuff like that. I haven't used Safari for Windows since June and I recall it was just a photo copy job of the Mac version back then.
Is it snappier ?!

I am glad to see the spell checker added. Safari is my favorite browser, so having it in Xp is nice. Hope some of the bugs i reported were addressed. Good to see "the best Browser" back it's stuff up. The find feature is also great BTW.

Safari 3 is very fast, and I like it quite a bit - but it also has some new CSS bugs that weren't in 2. Hopefully they'll get those fixed.

Well, about time they added the spell checker for windows. It is a huge reason why I refused to even conisider using Safria for windows. Now I may be willing to play around with it. Fire fox will stay my main browser for a long time to come.

I'm sorry, while I appreciate the attempt on Apple's part; Safari on Windows just doesn't "look" good.
I think the browser itself functions fine, but in the grand scheme of things it just doesn't look "Appelish" or rather doesn't fit in the Windows OS - it stands out and does so uglyishly (I know, not a word).
But as long as it works I guess ...

I've been using Safari on XP since Apple debuted the beta for XP. Safari 3 looks much better and I love it so far. Thanks Apple.

I really don't understand why apple is wasting their time developing safari for windows...whats their goal?
Windows users already have firefox and IE7, both decent browsers, there's no need for safari.
Maybe to sync certain settings to the iPhone?
