Gwhiz gives today’s Steve Jobs keynote 4 out of 5 yawns. Nice one, Gerald. Safari is a decent browser on the Mac, but it doesn’t have the plugin support that Firefox has which has succeeded in wooing me over in the current browser wars. I went to download Safari anyway, just to see if there was anything groundbreaking on the Windows platform.

Nice hyperbolic statement: “The world’s best browser now on Windows too.” Come on, who’s saying that, Steve Jobs? The default checked option is Safari + Quicktime, but I already have Quicktime Pro licenses for both Windows and Mac, so uncheck that and download.

On install I skipped a bit too quickly through things and left another box checked. I think it said something about Apple services. My bad. After the installation it required a reboot. The Safari browser was a total mess (see screenshot above) on the first and successive tries loading. The menus had no results in the dropdown, I couldn’t type anything. Yeah, it’s beta. Buggy beta. Uninstall.

Hopefully your experience is more fruitful. Think I’ll come back to this one in the future. The Safari Windows wine needs more time.
