Apple has now released their previously Mac-only webbrowser, Safari, for computers running Windows. This is a bold move that will spur competition with both FireFox and Microsoft and drive innovation with what's possible on the web, and in other areas of computing. The new version of Safari has also resolved many issues (e.g. the WYSIWYG editor) that prevented making it easy for SilverStripe's administration system to work, so volunteers are sought to resolve the now few javascript and CSS issues. Use our forum to list Safari3-related bugs and supply patches.

I think its a bit critical but ah well. It seems to work well for me...
Had I written the article, I would have mentioned Safari's main problem is it doesn't have a large module-building community that FireFox floats in...

Yeah, well, there was a lot of security issues with the first release, but they've followed that up with an update pretty quickly.

WebKit, the rendering engine that Safari uses is the most standards compliant one that I've encountered. Unfortunately it has a few issues with javascript.
