Apple At its Worldwide Developers Conference today in San Fransisco, Apple discussed its upcoming operating system, Mac OS X Leopard. As always, Steve held his keynote speech wearing his well-known ensemble. The keynote dealt mostly with Leopard, while keeping the most interesting part for last. Read on for the details. Update: Read more for a screenshot of Safari running on Windows... Barely.

Not bad at all

First of all, the screen shot included in this 'article' is not accurate. I'm writing this using Safari for Windows and everything has rendered fine. Speed has been good, haven't seen any major slowness or hog issues others have been mentioning.

I have to say that the FIND feature within the page is VERY nice. I know other browsers do the same thing, but Apple has once again made the common NICE. The way words are highlighted really stand out as the whole page dims, and having a count of matched items is quite handy.

All in all it's nice for us who use Apple at home and are stuck on Windows at work!!

The screenshot is accurate on my PC, running Windows Vista.

Other problems: It crashes left and right at any attempt to add a bookmark or import bookmarks, even the standard bookmarks coming with Safari aren't shown on the bookmarks bar. To me this looks like an Alpha build, and I wouldn't be very surprised if Apple posted an updated build within the next days.

Firefox does this too, on the find toolbar, choose "highlight"

Thank you. As I mentioned in my comment I'm aware that others do this, but like I said... this one is NICE. The words really stand out as the whole page dims, and the words are outlined and shadowed compared to just placing a colour highlight over them. Also, firefox is lacking the count of found matches.

Please read more thoroughly next time before replying.
