Windows users go on Safari

The latest version of Apple Computer's Safari browser, now in beta, promises to offer its ease of use and yet another alternative to Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and others for users of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

What's probably more important to Windows web developers who must test their builds against all these is that not having a Mac isn't a barrier to now test against Safari, since the Windows version should render and behave the same way as its Mac sibling. Given that Mac has recently achieved its highest market share gain at 8% and likely to grow further, testing against Safari is now more of a priority for developers who wish to "bulletproof" their builds as much as possible against failure before release and the PC version of Safari should be a welcome tool in their tool-kits.
