I must disagree with you..

I’ve had Safari on my PC for a week now (running XP SP2), and it’s much quicker then Internet Explorer. I have not received a single error message, and it hasn’t crashed once. The RSS feeds are very quick to update, and very clean.

I believe and certainly hope you’re right. With things like these about to happen you can almost already hear pesimists complaining: “There never going to pull it of”, “it’s nothing new”, “they won’t even get me near Safari.” Well I can tell you, I hope they do! Because If they get me to start using Safari on Windows, that means that they actually made a browser that I believe is better than the one I’m currently using (FF).

These kind of marketing decissions should be praised instead of critizised. If they screw up, do we get damaged by it in some kind of way? No! And if they succeed well, than we all end up using a better product (And finally one that looks good to).

Personally i didnt know that safari existed for windows before the new beta version. I am not a huge fan of mac-alternatives when it comes to windows but i have to say , if they want to compete with Firefox, (well IE is kinda out of the picture right now) they really have to try hard.

@Peter
In an ideal world yes, but since when has Apple ever been open and global with their actions? Just like any other big company, when they see business potential they take it.

Microsoft is indeed also quite a sneaky company, for example:
You can only use Microsoft Outlook (or Windows Live Mail) to check your Hotmail account, but Thunderbird or OSX Mail won’t work for it.

While I can see where you going with this argument there are some parts of it that sounds very similar to they way Microsoft handles things.

“It may not be obvious now, but Safari will have exclusive features. Soon we will be able to do things on Safari which we wonâ€™t be able to do on other browsers. Soon Apple will be creating Safari specific apps, or Safari only widgets. ”

You see, this all sounds all too much like ActiveX on IE. Apple should not try to reinvent certain ways of doings things (and try to create a new standard) but it should contribute (openly) to the standards already set by various institutions.
