While that’s certainly true, I’ve found the cash outlay for any software to be a minor expense in the long run.

Re: Safari for Windows
Safari uses up quite a lot of memory on Windows, though it’s nice to have around for testing purposes.
Wonder why they didn’t rename it to iBrowser?

Re: Safari for Windows
Love it!
It renders much faster than IE or FF and the text is somewhat bolder, which works for me as I have a small screen.
I do miss some of the IE features such as the pull down menu on the address bar.

Re: Safari for Windows
Can any of you Mac users tell me if Safari for Windows pretty well renders pages the same as Safari on a Mac? Apart from making all text bold (which seems to be a font problem they are working on) it does not seem to understand ems. Does it think an em is 15px or something?
If my body font size is set to 1em, I can be certain in all other browsers that an image of 48px by 48px is exactly 3em by 3em. But my images in S for W are too big and won’t fit into an em-sized box like they do in all other browsers.
Because a web page is much smaller on S for W than it is on other browsers, it makes me wonder if it is an em problem but could find nothing on a google search. Resizing the text produces odd sizes and is never the same as other browsers, which all render same pages the same size.
From what I’ve seen so far, Safari for Windows seems to have ‘unique’ ways of rendering web pages and might as well be another IE for how much good it is.
