Besides that, they tuned the text rendering, and together with Acrobat Reader it produces the best rendering on the windows system.

Do we really need Safari on Windows? Well I’ve downloaded the update as I use it just to make sure the website I make are Safari compatible. I find the new ‘Spelling and Grammar’ feature pretty fine for I’m not an English speaking guy. However I agree that Safari is totally out of place on Windows machines. I prefer Firefox and Opera. Those are very good browsers!

It’s interesting that Microsoft has been king of spell-check/grammar check yet they haven’t incorporated that into their browser, yet Apple has. Go figure.

They’ve definitely put more into making this behave like a Windows app, but there’s still one problem: the interface. The brushed metal looks nice in OS X, but horrendous in Windows. Mac fans get bent out of shape when other apps “don’t look like Mac” (Firefox being a prime example), yet Safari 3 on Windows doesn’t look like Windows. Apple should just bow to the inevitable and make it look more like a nice Windows app; at least provide the option, anyway.

I don’t think they will be changing that anytime soon, and it’s only bound to get worse as Apple brings more of their apps over to Windows. Now we have iTunes and Safari on Windows both of which seem out of place. The least they could do is make it skinnable.

I thought the addition of grammar checking was especially nice since they are the first browser that I know of which checks that.

Totally agree. safari 3 is an eyesore on windows. I am not a huge fan of mac apps, but quicktime and itunes look kinda okay, while safari is totally out of place.
