Safari for Windows goes mainstream

Today is an exciting day for Windows web developers are earlier today Apple announced the release of Safari 3 beta for Windows.

Finally, developers can see how their websites render on the WebKit engine that Safari is built on.

While WebKit has been available on Windows for a long time (one simply had to compile the source on Windows), this public pre-compiled browser with the Safari name will be great for marketing as it’ll go mainstream fast (thanks to Apple)

Brushed metal look

Steve Jobs announced that with Leopard’s release in October, brushed metal look will be history and OS X will have a unified look at last.

Surprisingly, Safari for Windows will still bear the look a lot of you despise.

iTunes + Quicktime + Safari package could be the go for the fuure?

Just installed this cool browser n my Windows XP. I really love the text anti-aliasing. And i really love the “edit your comment” feature. Is this a plugin?

Dino: That’s actually something interesting. I thought font anti-aliasing is a OS-dependent feature (ClearType).

Yet, Safari for Windows manages to make it look exactly how it looks in OS X. Beautiful.

Actually, that screenshot shows the new, brushed-metal-free chrome. Oddly enough, the 3.0 beta for Mac still uses brushed-metal.
