The web has been abuzz the past two days with the 'news' that it was supposedly illegal to run Safari for Windows on anything but an Apple-branded computer. It was obviously a mistake, so I decided to run no story on it. Now, however, it has specifically been fixed by Apple; Ars decided to phone Apple PR, and they fixed the issue. The WebKit guys also offer a fix for the 'fuzzy fonts' issue on Safari for Windows.

ah, silly me. i thought the illegal bit was about how apple pushed safari in the "updater"...
And I would have thought that the fact that Safari bringing down OSX at the Pwn2Own contest at CanSec West would have been brought up by now... Click a link, allow remote code execution, so it would appear they are bring the Windows experience to OSX at the same time they're bringing the OSX experience to Windows...
Ok, but seriously, I'd be interested to know if that was platform specific or if it impacts the Windows version of well, but the flaw won't be disclosed until Apple patches it. Understandbly. Still, I'm curious to know the degree and extent of code reuse between the Windows and OSX versions of Safari.
