Apple have released Safari 3. Safari is Apple's web browser and has been a core component of MAC OS for a while.
However now you can get a Windows version!!!
But why would you bother switching?
Will, check out the following page for performance stats

Basically Safari has all the features but is way faster than other browsers.

I'd rather not trade a bit more performance (which is questionable [1]) for globs more memory and reported instability [2] [3].
Plugins are the biggest drawcard for Firefox, and I don't see many of those for Safari.
Finally, the mac skin on a PC is ugly. Would you use a program on your mac if it looked (and acted) like a Windows app?

Hey Chris
Safari 3 is beautiful on a MAC. Given what they did with iTunes on a PC... sure... I would give it a go. However I don't have any Windows machines (all MACs) so it 'aint a prob.
Would I use a Windows app on a MAC... unfortunately yes. Office for MAC is ugly because it doesn't use the latest interface standards.
Anyway... Safari 3 rocks on a MAC and given it is on a PC, it is an opportunity for PC users to have some good software.
