Anyone else trying Safari on a PC? I'm loving Safari and I use Apple Lossless on iTunes. I might need to savee up and buy a Mac.

I tried it when it just came out for PC. However, I am too used to Firefox and use a lot of shortcuts.

The one thing that kills it is that windows antialiasing is horrible, whereas linux and macos both manage crisp, smooth, antialiased interfaces. Still, safari (even on a mac, where I just use firefox) seems archaic to me, I don't know why.

I mostly use firefox. Yes, Safari's antialiasing is horrible. I'm hoping it gets cleaned up.

The anti-aliasing is debatable, but it did not use Windows default. Supposedly the option has already been integrated into WebKit, so it should show in Safari in Windows soon. Or that's the rumor anyway.

And don't get me started on Firefoxs text display on the Mac!

I prefer Firefox, but the latest OSX builds have been terribly unstable, so I've gone back to Safari. I still use Firefox in Windows though, it's just a bit better laid out than Safari IMO and I like the plug-ins.

Yes, I run Safari on a PC.
A MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5 that is (which is a PC as well..).

I don't even use Safari on my Mac - so no plans to use on PC...

Camino has been great to me for Mac, and Firefox for PC

Safari is excellent on a mac. But not on windows

Opera is excellent on a pc.
But not on mac.

I think there is a new beta out. I'm going to download it today. Supposedly its faster than both IE7 and Firefox. I dont know if the IE8 beta will best it or not though.

Not a big fan of Apple software on Windows. Itunes and Quicktime are horrible and Safari is so-so.

i love opera, just wish google would show it some love

for most google apps i have to fire up memory leaking firefox

I'm going to dig around for an article I read recently from the guys who take care of security for PayPal. They actually give the thumbs-down to Safari because it apparently doesn't do as many security checks as IE and Firefox. (I don't think Opera was mentioned.)

I'll see what I can find, and post here. I'm thinking it was on /.

EDIT: Here it is: Macworld | PayPal: Steer clear of Safari

You probably know FF memory issues supposedly are mostly corrected in FF3, but I can tell you Google is extending a lot of love to Opera. I really can't get into details, but there are major Opera "bugs" and Goog is obviously pushing things a bit concerning "standards." It probably sounds like a cop-out, but if you want to focus the lack of love (as opposed to IE, FF/Mozilla and increasingly Safari), a fair share should be in the direction of Oslo.

That's exactly what I did. Never looked back.
