Safari for Windows

Safari 3 for Windows - What’s that blog?I took a break from work to reboot into Vista and play a little Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) on my MacBook Pro. (I haven’t had a chance to check out Parallels 3 and the new 3D support - review will be coming.)

Once in Windows mode, I got the urge to make Vista more visually Mac-like, and stumbled on some great sites offering skins, docks and the like for Windows. Not having that much time, I decided a quick way to ‘get my Mac on’ would be to install the newly released Safari 3 for Windows.

I have only been using it for a few hours - but it seems excellent so far! I particularly love the floating sharp edge look to the Safari Window. It’s snappy and responsive. One potential snag is my WordPress WYSIWYG - I’m having trouble adding HTML links in the visual mode, but will have to test further to confirm that it’s a Safari issue.

Update: Confirmed issues with the WordPress WYSIWYG photo app and link app. Sent off a bug report to Apple - please do the same with any issues you find. Safari for Windows comes in as the underdog, but I am hopeful that, like iTunes, it will become a great product to introduce non-Mac users to the Apple line. Here’s to a fruitful beta test!

    Hey Drcomp! Great post! Although, wouldn’t it be easier if those LOTRO guys just made LOTRO for Mac? Maybe something to look into :)
