Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Apple Releasing a Windows Browser

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

So far the Windows version has been working okay for me. It doesn't 
render entirely the same as it's Mac version which is a bit annoying to 
me as it means I really need to test my work on both OSX and Windows 
(luckily that isn't to big a deal thanks to VMWare). I hope the new 
version of Safari fixes some weirdness it has especially w/ 
Javascript/DOM. I've fixed a lot of weird errors in my JS related to 
Safari - many of them things such as reserved variable names that 
shouldn't be reserved. Still - way better than IE 6 or 7.
