Takuro Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just to let the Windows fanboys know, you can run Apple Safari on XP or Vista now. Will it make a dent in IE's domination? Personally, I don't think so. Apple harshly underestimated Firefox's browser share, which is heard is now over 25%. If somebody had told me about this a day sooner, I'd dismiss it as a rumor at the drop of a hat. However, this announcement came right from Jobs's mouth. http://apple.com/safari Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53615-safari-for-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Ummm WHY O WHY. Safari crashes, has cheap flash support, no ad blocking, no support for plugins. Why reinvent the wheel?? Except maybe so that devs can make apps for iPhone. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53615-safari-for-windows/#findComment-382363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

X_Naruto Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Was that really necessary for thread ? Lame. Also, someone else beat you to it here. Fail x 2. Wow, you seem really peeved, calm down man. Btw to the person that said "Safari>Firefox>IE7" Refer to posts #4 & #5 But, it is a beta, so I guess we'll have to see what's next from Apple.

GBK.Xscape Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 guys, guys, guys why do we always get into some argument that seems like instincts to some. Robotskip is right, the windows fanboy comment wasnt needed, Macs can now run Windows so it makes sense to port the mac web browser to windows. and X_Naruto he wasnt overreacting, its easy to pick on ironically the underdog here, the windows fanboy, its almost impossible to have just a normal conversation about windows w/o getting back to the mac vs. windows idea. people have to realize that mac isnt trying to take over windows marketshare, they target a different market and most likely wont ever take over the computer market.

Dr. Hurt Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 WOW, this thing even works on windows 2000. I wish I could go rub it in microsoft's face. They don't offer internet explorer 7 (which I hate anyway) to us windows 2000 users. Also modern versions of windows media player don't work on windows 2000 and again apple released itunes for windows 2000. LOLOLOL Maybe Apple could use this fact in thier marketing campaign!!!!

zolookas Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Not very good news: "David Maynor, infamous for the Apple Wi-Fi hack, has discovered bugs in the Windows version of Safari mere hours after it was released. He notes in the blog that his company does not report vulnerabilities to Apple. His claimed catch for 'an afternoon of idle futzing': 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities." http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/07/06/12/0120230.shtml Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53615-safari-for-windows/#findComment-383085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnizzle Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Not sure if anyone maybe...forgot, but Safari 3 is a BETA which means it was released to reveal the bugs! I don't think you can really compare it until the final version comes out. You never know what features/functionality may be added by then.

cbmkgd Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 the windows fanboy comment wasnt neededMac "fanboys" will always call windows users "windows fanboys"; and windows "fanboys" will always call mac users "mac fanboys".That's what fanboys do. Other users, of mac pc or windows pc or both, will just respect each other.

DrSupachicken Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I know it's only x84 right now, but I put it on to my 64-bit AMD Vista Ultimate machine, didn't last very long. Be keen to try it again though when it's ready, especially if it is optimised for 64-bit too!

bgg71 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 If you want a very fast browser try netscape 9b. It's fastest in os x and in xp. I did not try it in vista. It also accepts all the firefox add-ons. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53615-safari-for-windows/#findComment-386005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this announcement came right from Jobs's mouth. http://apple.com/safari At least it is compliant with web-standards. Safari passes the Acid2 web-test, along with Opera. It is also extremely fast. Firefox is mainstream, but a lot of people seem to be complain about it getting slower and bloated with each release. Personally, I'm sticking with Opera Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53615-safari-for-windows/#findComment-386204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
