Apple has released the first version of its browser, Safari, for Windows. Safari 3.1, which was launched on Tuesday, will run on Windows XP or Vista and, of course, Mac OSX. Apple released a beta for the Windows-supporting version in June last year. Apple has claimed that the browser is the fastest available for Windows. In a Tuesday statement, Cupertino said it "loads web pages 1.9 times faster than [Internet Explorer] 7 and 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2 [and] runs JavaScript up to six times faster than other browsers". Don't think you have Safari for Windows installed? You might want to check again.

dont really stop then tho. just look at ie7, and its missing menubar. instead its contained under the cogs button.
that is unless you hit alt, and then it appears.
hmm, now that i think about it, isnt that how most of the windows apps in vista are supposed to be?
also, there is the "ribbons" system in the latest ms office...

Microsoft is unable to make any radical changes to their interface due to established history. If Microsoft were to create such a new interface it would essentially reset their operating system market share.
When MacOS transitioned to MacOS X, there was not much of a real shift in interface. Sure, the dock was added, but everything else was essentially the same. The plumbing was certainly different, and at this point it is the only thing that can change a lot.
