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.

I have used this browser since its first beta release and I like it..I agree about the user interface that someone complains about, but you WILL get used to it...its like like IE7 has a standard MS commoncontrols interface neither. I really feel the advantages of the webkit backend. However, my only real complain is that the user interface is bugged on my computer. Often the upper part breaks and I can see the standard windows toolbox-buttons in the upper right corner (minimize, maximize, close) instead of the prettyfied apple ones. This bug is just horrible. Its been there since the first beta, and I was really hoping it would disapear before this release...and it did NOT despite the fact that I reported it.
