…and if more people were aware about Safari for Windows, because the majority of people have never even heard of Safari to began with, they probably would, and should use it. It is much more simpler and FASTER; and it uses tabs, which some people also don’t know, it has a built in pop-up blocker and firewall that is reliable and easy to manage, and lastly, it downloads very easily. Mac For Life…

I would have to disagree with on some of that. Though I do believe that Apple doesn’t want to start a browser war, WebKit has been available for windows and linux for some time now. I think it was more of a marketing plow.

Apple get’s paid by Google for every search that originates in the Safari browser search field. This is true for the Mac and Windoze version. It’s plain and simple economics. Since 1,000,000 copies of Safari was downloaded for Windoze last week (in the first 48 hours), that’s that many more platforms from which Apple get’s credit for the query.

Apple wins no matter if they win the browser war. That’s not the game. They just want to originate all Google searches! Simple…

I refuse to click on the ComputerWorld article. I suspect it’s written by Mike Elgan, whose job in life is to garner page hits.

If it is, he’s been wrong everytime he’s written about Apple, and yet he can’t stop himself from writing about Apple. Mike Elgan has quickly joined John Dvorak, Rob Enderle, and Paul Thurrott on the list of truly clueless when it comes to Apple.
