"The ability to download and immediately render non-standard web fonts is just one of
several advancements Apple has planned for Safari 3.1, a small but significant update to its share-gaining web browser for both the Mac and Windows PCs. The release, which underwent private testing this week, will tie in a number of other enhancements, most of which have been under constant development as part of the company's WebKit open source application framework since last fall. They aim to provide Web developers a means of writing more dynamic and customizable web pages and iPhone apps, which will in turn provide surfers with a more feature-rich and enjoyable experience."

I think the main goal for Safari on Windows is for iPhone development, even though Steve last year proclaimed it to be the fasted browser on Windows.
I rarely use Safari on my Mac; mainly Camino or Fireox for my needs. Of course, for website design/development, I do fire it up to make sure it displays fine.
For switchers, it makes sense that they would use the included browser and nothing else as that's what they did on Windows. Not saying all switchers of course, but the general consumers who just browse the internet and check email.
