So should I jump on the band wagon and rant about Apple's Safari browser's port to Windows? And just why the fsck not!? The norm on the interwebs is for "bloggers" to follow certain patterns and topics of writings, and who am I to breakout and do otherwise? Anyway, you can download the thing straight, from the Apple site. It is labeled as a public beta, so expect the damn thing to crash a few times, or simply not do what you tell it to do. Thats what beta releases do. It really fscks my head up when I hear or read about users bitching and complaing about the lack of stability from beta software. HELLO!!! Thats the whole point. Be a guinea pig and please report back to us your scientific findings **cough**Vista**cough**.
So, within a few hours of release some major glitches were found, but believe me when I tell you that this the idea. Peer review but without the open source. Apple was quick to flix many of the flaws, and spared us the fat-tuesday sufferation syndrome. Apple was applauded for the quick release..... Honestly this is fscking amazing, you release buggy software filled with flaws to the public, but you're worshiped for fixing your shit? WTF! Only in IT.
Let's move on here. So why this interest from Apple to release their browser for Windows? Love? For sure! We all love money, and Apple is no exception here. Their soon to be released iPhone will depend on their browser for many of the third party apps, so why not have this same browser available on different platforms. Really, , it doesn't take a genius.
