Safari for Windows

Re: Safari for Windows
Doesn’t even try to work here. No text in the menus, fails to let me enter a web address. Very beta.

Re: Safari for Windows
Working surprisingly well here (XP/SP2). Because we all need more browsers to test in.

Re: Safari for Windows
I haven’t tried the Windows install yet, but the Mac beta is pretty nice. Not much for visual changes, but the new find UI is great.

Re: Safari for Windows
Holy crap! I’ll still be stuck with Swift to test for the current version of Safari, but once 3 is officially released this is going to rock!
I hardly ever use this many exclamation points in a single post, I swear.

Re: Safari for Windows
Well, it runs for me. I’ve got no text in or on the window, however.

Why on earth would you want to do that to yourself? ;-)

For those of you that complain that text is missing or badly rendered: Safari ships with a copy of the ‘Lucida Grande’ font. That seems to conflict on some systems with some fonts that are globaly installed. Removing those fonts somewhere out of the Safari directory seems to fix that.
(going by info posted on some mailing lists – I don’t have any more details, and I’m not planning to install it on my VPC images. I have the real thing anyway.)
[EDIT] This page seems to have a fix that work for a number of people.

I’ll even remove the beta from my Mac. No real benefits for me. Having the official release(2.0.x) and the WebKit nightlies running side by side is more useful for browser testing. (and I never use Safari except for that purpose)

Simple… To test my sites without having to ask for favours from pc users. Definitely not to surf the web:)

Re: Safari for Windows
Leopard’s Boot Camp looks like it’ll solve that though – sleep in Mac mode, login to windows (no restart). It’d be great to run a full version of Windows without restarting, provided you can still access your network IP/localhost. Until then, Q fits the bill nicely (open source virtualization).

Re: Safari for Windows
That would need a Windows license fee, making IE quite an expensive software for it’s quality :)
