From the buzz I've been reading, it seems like this move was iPhone-driven. The iPhone apparently has a full Safari rendering engine. Now add to that with the fact that the "SDK" for the iPhone is AJAX. By supporting Safari on Windows, Apple will be going a long way toward giving Windows-based developers the tools they need to write applications/services for the iPhone. Apple isn't stupid.
On the flip side, a lot of people were disappointed that the SDK for the iPhone turned out to be AJAX. As they said over at Ars Technica "Oh Steve, when will we ever learn to see past your steamy pillow talk?"

Don't know what the "beach ball of death" is, and hope I never find out.

you'd be an idiot to use Safari/WebKit on Windows.
you'd be an idiot to use it on OSX.
stick with Gecko (Firefox/Camino).
all of Apple's announcements at WWDC today left me wanting to cut my - better yet - Steve Job's wrists. this was the most bitterly disappointing keynote of all time.
sure, we saw some nice Leopard features... but who cares. i'll care when i can use them... which should have been this month... not October.
where's my new cinema display? where's multi-touch? where's a REAL iPhone development platform? where's new Xserves?
i feel bad for the developers who paid good money to attend this conference.

I like the bookmark bar, but I don't like the bookmarks in general. Unless I don't know how to work them, I have to open the whole page of bookmarks and click into them to open more bookmarks?

Hackers Break Apple's Safari for Windows on First Day
Hackers Break Apple's Safari for Windows on First Day
http://blogs.business2.com/apple/200...s_break_a.html
Apple (AAPL) may live to regret its claim that Safari for Windows is "secure from day one."
It probably regrets it already. The computer security blogs this morning are lit up like Christmas trees with reports of exploits, vulnerabilities and denial of service (DoS) attacks. Thor Larhom claims that it took him only two hours to find "a fully functional command execution vulnerability." Dave Maynor provides a running commentary of his exploits:
Using publicly available tools we had a DoS in no time...Whoops, sorry, thats not a DoS, its memory corruption.... a new bug. These are popping out like hotcakes....I'd like to note that we found a totl of 6 bugs in an afternoon, 4 DoS and 2 remote code execution bugs. We have weaponized one of those to be reliable and its diffrent that what Thor has found. (link; spelling is original, to say the least)
In Apple's defense, what they have released is a beta version of Safari, and betas are made for bug detection. But by creating a version that runs on Windows, it has left the relatively safe harbor of 5% market share and exposed itself to the winds of malware that blow fierce in the Microsoft (MSFT) Windows environment.
