Contrary to what Apple would have you believe, it is NOT twice as fast as IE at all, in fact from what I have tested so far it is actually IE that is twice as fast as Safari< |

| They look cool except you have to sign up with AT&T wireless to get one. I used to have them and got all kinds of fake charges and it followed me for about 4 years before it finally gotten taken care of like a month ago. But the phone looks sweet I will wait for Verizon to get it.< |

it doesn't appear to be faster than Opera either, if anything Opera is slightly faster (as well as a lot nicer :P)
anyway on first use it managed to annoy me - some stupid autocomplete in the address bar making it kinda hard to go to lower directories on a site you've visited before... i presume it can be turned off but stupid all the same.< |

I recently added a Mac Pro 3.0 Quad and Safari doesn't seem to run any faster. Due to the lack of a right click button on the Apple mouse, I gravitate toward IE every time.

| Ah. I thought you were referring to the load time like most of the articles I've read. Does it really render that slowly? (I'm at work right now and I had to go through the 7th circle of hell just to get IE7 on my workstation...)< |

That was one of the other complaints that I've seen mentioned.  I'll probably download and install it on my development machines at home, but only because 12% of the people who come to www.jesusjoshua2415.com are running Safari - and I'm too cheap to get a Mac.  < |

Well, it is technically still a beta... however, I do agree that it's quite ironic that Safari was hacked on the first day of its first Windows release.
I'll wait for the final release. I probably won't switch to it completely, but I'll definitely use it for testing purposes.< |
