Whilst this cannot be a bad thing (hey, look what competition from Firefox did to wake up Microsoft and get them to update Internet Explorer), I don&#8217;t use Safari on my Mac because so many websites don&#8217;t work with it&#8230; I can&#8217;t see that being any different under Windows; on the flip side, it may wake developers up to the presence of Safari and they might actually develop standards-compliant sites that work across all platforms (meanwhile Apple gets the advertising revenue from the search box and a foothold for application development on the Windows desktop).  Regardless of the reasoning behind producing Safari for Windows, it does kind of disprove the whole &#8220;we&#8217;re really strapped for resources getting the iPhone out and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re delaying Leopard&#8221; argument.
