Apple released the Safari 4 Beta today. Features: Tabs on top. "Top Sites" 'Speed Dial' feature. "Smart" address/search fields. HTML5 Canvas. HTML5 Audio/Video (though no Ogg). Acid 3. CSS Animation/Gradients/Masks/Reflection. CSS Web Fonts. New "Nitro" Javascript engine - "Up to 4 times faster than Firefox 3.1". 'Native' look and native font rendering on Windows Vista/XP. I can think of only one thing: "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!"

I like the look on Vista. The tabbed view reminds me of BeOS, where you could slide the titlebar tabs around so you could see the tabs for multiple windows at once. Safari is effectively doing the same thing automatically.
As for them being variable width, I don't see how else they could be, with Windows' "the title bar must be the full width of the window" design.
