But... but... Firefox?

Every single Mac user I know in person just uses Firefox *anyway*, and says Safari is crap.

beta browser and apparently it chews through memory (though that might be a vista-specific issue :D) and also apparently has enough security holes (beta as it is naturally)

but nice to have another mainstream option! :D Opera, Firefox, Iexplorer, Safari...

Well, for sure, it's not ported for the sake of profit. As one of the best network innovation companies around, it is surely done to be support somewhere, like the iTunes iPod combo which worked out rather perfectly...

I think its also to do with there iPhone press release. You need to use safari to make applications for the iPhone (crap idea imo). Having a Safari browser on Windows PCs will help developers make these apps.
