Apple as ever have decided to change the rules of the game by releasing Safari on Windows. This is quite significant in the browser wars for a couple of reasons
- Developers (who often use Windows) will now start testing on IE/Safari rather than IE/Firefox.
- It should encourage much more cross-platform web design.
- It does seem to be quite cool - so even more people will think about trying Apple.
There are some downsides at present. It is a bit buggy (it has had 2 errors since I installed it all of 10 minutes ago) and I am not convinced it is particually quick. I suspect time will tell but this is only going to make IE market share shrink further.
