I got many impressions about Safari, none of all is positive (Sorry Steve).

1. I installed (should I say tried) in 2 PCs and my own notebook, none of these attemps were without crashes and misterious behavior.

2. After installing (I strong recomend to have your Windows in order and good backup of your data), finally I got Safari … which is good to see, inteface is nice.

3. I could do almost nothing without that piece of s… software crashed; in 5 minutes span I got 35 crashes in Safari or related programs.

4. I know it is a beta version, but come on Google and Micrsoft releases betas that at least works, Apparently the version 3 uploaded by Apple is a joke.

5. This product is so far behind the rest, so I keep in mind my list: FF > IE7 > Opera … and in 999th position is this waste of time called Safari.

Any good news? yeap if you got a Mac you’ll love it.

Wow. What’s the point? I can see using it on a Mac. After all, it works, it’s quick, and it’s aesthetically pleasing to many, but FireFox still has the open source functionality that Safari cannot match if one truly needs to install a browser, and it IE6/7 comes preinstalled on computers, leaving Safari nearly no place in Windows world.

So Apple finally did something horribly wrong. This years WWDC and Safari on ‘doze!

They’ve got a long way to go here. None of the buttons are showing up on the interface. Just all gray area. And I can’t type anything in the address bar. I know its beta but it should at least be functional.

And I can’t stand the anti-aliased fonts. Reminds me of IE7. I like the clean edges of Firefox.

Mine crashes whenever I try to add a bookmark, or open that bookmark-organizer-tab-thingy. And that is clearly a no-go.
I like Apple’s text rendering though. Maybe I’ll use the final version for more than checking my websites for compatibility.

Works beautifully for me! I am loving this! It might even replace Firefox on my Vista Computer. Wish it had inline spellcheck though . . .
