I always thought this could happen… If Apple is interested on win the browser battle, then i think they could win by far… Still, Safari relays it’s beautifulness on Mac OS X… Windows couldn’t give it the “sleekness” it needs…

I really can not see this happening at all. Apple wouldn’t stand to gain much, if any, from porting the browser to Windows. There is also the point that some of things so great about Safari are tied to OS X, for example Address Book for homepages, the system wide dictionary for spellchecking and I’m sure there are others that I can’t think of right now.

I imagine if Safari was ported to Windows, the issues including quicktags for WYSIWYG editors would surely be resolved.

I really hate safari as a browser. We dont need more people using it! ;-)
It has issues displaying stuff like WYSIWYG editors and other stuff, so it is really hard to make stuff for safari.

What i do like though, is the input boxes, and scoll-gui-stuff.. it is really nice.

Well, considering that WebKit is already on Windows, it could happen. I just don't think it's going to. There's no real incentive for Apple to make Safari for Windows. There's plenty of browsers for Windows already, and there's not much to gain from Safari being among them. Let Safari continue to be the awesome browser for the Mac that it is.
