- Safari has been ported to Windows. Weird.


A web developer gave me a good reason for this that makes sense. Someone can now on one platform develop and test their site with IE, Firefox and Safari. It's possible to do this with virtual machines and such, but this now also allows it side by side on a Windows box. With the iPhone using Safari as well, people may be more interested in making sure their sites work with it.

I don't see the browser really gaining much traction though for Windows users. iTunes is popular on Windows because the iPod is popular. There isn't a key external thing to really drive Windows users to switch away from Firefox or IE, especially to a browser that doesn't feel like a Windows app.
