And it’s buggy as hell. This is no beta, this pre-alpha stuff rushed for WWDC. It crashes instantly when pressing buttons in the toolbar, only the new Apple.com (which is a really nice job, by the way) renders correctly. Even Google renders weird.

Yes, it starts faster than IE of Firefox, it’s the fastest browser for Windows at the moment. Unfortunately, it crashes at the same speed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to offer more Mac apps for Windows as it lets Windows users experience the quality of those apps. iTunes on Windows is one of the reasons I’ll be buying a Mac in the near future (whenever the new iMacs are coming), it was a great introduction to Mac software. Too bad Safari is clearly not ready yet to be released to the public, it gives a bad impression about the quality of Apple’s software, even for a beta release.

Safari on Windows is definitely great for designers, though I’ll hope there will be new iMacs before Safari 3 final comes out, so I can just enjoy Safari on it’s “own” OS, hehe. :)

On one of my machines it runs great, on the other it fails miserably, even crashing when I visit Apple’s support site. I also have problems with fonts not showing up, both in the program itself and in web pages.

Definitely not a good start for Safari on Windows…
