Will be up at apple.com/safari later on - the current page shows the OSX version.
Jobs claimed double the speed of IE7 ... yeah, we'll see, if iTunes perf is anything to go by ...

Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.

How is this possible? Safari used KHTML, which was fairly heavily integrated with the UNIX stack. Let's see how they sort this out.
If it's true, it's the first piece of major browser news since IE7's announcement.
EDIT: Interesting.

It's true - Steve Jobs himself announced it at the WWDC right now.

Nonsense, it is built on QT, which Apple provided a shim for - UNIX stack has nothing to do with it.
Besides I suspect Adobe did most of the Windows port, at least for the engine, because it is what they use in Apollo/AIR. Interestingly enough the same rendering engine is now also available in S60 phones.

If Blackberrys are addictive cellphones, Channel9 is the ultimate addictive website.

Probably? On what grounds? Because it isn't Microsoft - go easy there fella and try and maintain a bit of balance.

Downloaded and installed, and as expected the same problem as Safari on OSX.jamie wrote:downloading

it is fast though. I am surprised, I would have thought it slow and bloated like iTunes on Windows.

And as usual Apple wants their windows apples to look like os/x, not like another windows program. Which sucks. Also ignores windows menu conventions.
Feels a lot slower than Firefox
Doesn't render the fonts as well as either IE or Firefox, implements it's own font smoothing and ignores cleartypes. And makes a bad job of it.
Ignores parental controls.
Plugin page shows it as mozilla based.
Dialogs have cancel to the left of ok; again ignoring convention
Menus which should be ticked never get ticked.
Poor poor showing.

No rich editing for posts on C9 ... but on the plus side, I can resize the text box! Weeee!

I actually have a different experience, its fast and the rendering is great. Are you on Vista?

XP. The font rendering is awful; fuzzy and nasty.

I guess it has something against proxies, unable to give it a test run
