Apple Apple's first Windows beta release of Safari had some nasty bugs, most importantly one where bold text wouldn't render on non-English versions of Windows. Since the 3.0.2 release has 'fixes for text display, non-English systems', this bug might by fixed. In addition, Security Update 2007-006 for Mac OS 10.3.9 and Mac OS 10.4.9 and later has been released. The update addresses two vulnerabilities in WebKit, one of which could lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

This new piece of Safari beta crap STILL does not remember my custom settings when closing and reopening on Windows!

Now that is a MAJOR bug Apple!

What a joke.

It's absolutely awful. I know it's a beta, but it's ugly and just generally crap. I'm surprised Mac users put up with it.

Not to mention that fact that they've forced that hideous metal skin on Windows users isn't going to go down well. It might work with iTunes, but there's no need to use Safari. Firefox, Opera and IE 6/7 all look nicer and function better.

Well, it's a beta, you are "beta testing"

Did you tell Apple? There's a menu item under the Help menu called "Report Bugs to Apple". It's probably the best way to get something done about it.

I WAS beta testing, I dont mind the odd weird crashes, odd fonts.
But when a serious company cannot get the the fundamentals right like saving simple settings like bookmarks and pages where I can even begin to start testing the browser, I gave up.
