[Steve Gosselin]

Still crashes on me on startup and i don't know why.

Same problem with my XP installation only. All works fine on my Vista box. :unsure:

[Wanderermy]

[:: Lyon ::]

It runs fine on the XP machine in the office. Got some problems with javascript, cgi calls etc though from a development perspective :[

Safari is the only software that doesn't work on my XP box. No problem with Safari on my Vista home premium box.

It is as if they just ran Safari.dmg through an "OSX > W32" converter and released it.

Well, I hope that th epeople who encounter problems with the fonts or whatever at least send bug reports in rather than just complain and not contribute :ninja:

Once the hungry RAM eating issue is fixed, I'll probably use it much more.

Where do I report bugs then lol

[AJerman]

Where do I report bugs then lol

Help->Submit Bugs to Apple. Or you can customize the toolbar to add the little bug icon and save yourself one click.

Also, as for their version of sub-pixel rendering, I personally love it. It looks... I don't know, it's hard to explain, but it looks nicer and easier to read than ClearType to me. I wish I could get all my fonts in Windows to look like that. If you don't like it, it's not because people who do are stupid or blind, it's just an opinion. ;)

lets see when this is released as final whether it will crash after a windows update downloads some fixes to screw up safari. lol

I wouldn't put it past Microsoft IE devs to release a update that causes safari to run like crap. lol they will do anything to keep market share.

Didn't Microsoft do this to some Office competition a long time ago?

Safari 3.0.1 working good under Windows Vista Ultimate x64, still using Firefox as my main though for now.

Works wonderful under OS X for me, I was happy when Camino 1.5 came out recently (for those that don't know Camino is basically Firefox2 made to run better on OS X and use more OS X features). But Safari 3 is my main right now on OS X.

Not that I know of. I've used many Office competitors, AbiWord, OpenOffice, StarOffice, and have never encountered any issues. Not to mention there'd likely be a lawsuit if Microsoft was intentionally crippling competing products.

Of course, there are those who think Apple intentionally dragged their feet in bringing out Vista-compatible versions of iTunes.

Indeed. Plus Apple doesn't seem to need Microsoft's help making Safari 'run like crap'

Slow and ugly... uninstalled it within minutes.

Hello, I have the error code 2728 when installing this product. And it gives this problem whenever it tries to install the proxy exception list, so I cant install safari at all, what can I do?

[acies]

What sites?

ign and gamefaqs where i first noticed it. But there seems to be caps on quite alot of sites. and it doesn't show like this in IE7 or Firefox. Here's an example:

I love Apple but they've honestly got their heads up their asses with Safari for Windows. Third update to it in almost 2 months, and the program still lacks basic Windows functionality like minimizing when you click its taskbar button and responding to the forward/back buttons on your mouse.

I take it memory issue is still poor?

[UKDarkJedi]

hideously bad. had two tabs open for about 30 seconds now, and I'm at 105Mb.

Same tabs in firefox, under 45Mb.
