Safari, so goodi

[robotech_master]

I was greeted by an odd spectacle on my Windows XP computer as I got up this morning. The Apple Updater, responsible for keeping my iTunes and Quicktime up to date, told me that new software was available for my computer—Safari, the Apple web browser.

I guess I've really been out of touch or something; I had no idea Apple was working on porting Safari to Windows, let alone that it was completed. It seems to run all right on my system, too.

I like Firefox, on the whole, but it's nice to have an alternate browser for rare occasions when I need to access a page by another means—and Internet Explorer hasn't worked for me since I got this computer. I doubt Safari will become my main browser, but it's good to have the choice.

It's a decent enough little browser, and definitely better than IE. It's just funny seeing that brushed metal browser interface on my Winbox. :)

Very nifty: slick, clean, fast. The deal-breaker for me is not being able to close tabs with a middle-click. I mean, hell, even IE managed to collect that one.
