I'm going to assume that no one on here is stupid enough to use IE6. You're still dumb if you use IE7, but hey - not so much.
Apple has released Safari on Windows.

Faster than Firefox, IE, etc.

I am not a fan of safari. I gave this a try about three minutes ago, and I am still not a fan of safari. Opera, even though it runs slower on mac is still my goto browser.
Because Steve says so.
It's not faster than Opera, at least this version doesn't seem to be. Firefox, couldn't tell you.
Personal peference. When I switched to Opera IE sucked and firefox crashed all the time. As far as I know nothing changed. Any feature Opera had over any of the other browsers has been added in either in new releases or extensions. It does run significantly faster than IE and crashes less than Firefox, but that is all personal experience.
Bullshit. It has always been the slowest browser for me, Firefox, Camino, and Opera have always been faster on my mac and every one elses I've used.
The only people who are going to use this are the idiots who believe everything that comes out of the Mac camp.
What the fuck I installed safari and all of a sudden my itunes is getting runtime errors when I start it up. Can anyone else see if this is happening to them too.
Edit: Oh man, first gripe: the Back button on my MX700 doesn't work. It works fine in Safari for OSX, so that's quite annoying.

Just minor things really. There's no major features that usually ends up deciding my browser choice, but minor ones.
Ditto. I've been using Opera for about five or six years now. I've tried other browsers, but nothing just seems to hold up.
I like iTunes, and this is a lot like iTunes, so it's cool to me. Not sure if it's gonna replace Firefox though.
I use Safari :<
Maximizing it on a secodary display causes the window to just......dissapear. crashes completely when I try to go to a sharepoint site with it (even firefox can handle them).
it does seem to be faster, when it's not crashing.
It may help that ever since FF started being unwilling to load video content (a la youtube, google video, that sort of thing), I've been running only safari on my mac, so I've gotten really used to it lately. That probably makes the swap to Safari on Windows a little easier for me.
It works fine, but it's not any faster than a compiled version of Firefox. Oddly my faux-Safari theme looks nicer than the actual thing.
Edit: Why can't I turn font smoothing all the way off
Edit2: I broke it. Is there somewhere to report bugs?
Edit3: Ah.
From what I'm seeing on my own computer here ... it's not. It's about equivalent.
Don't trust benchmarking numbers from Apple generated from a program named iBench.
Until other browsers offers the extreme customizability of Firefox, I'll take a pass. Still, it's great to see more third-party browsers on the Windows platform to challenge IE, and this move by Apple was unexpected to say the least. Safari on Windows. What's next?
(Adium plz.)
I'll stick with Opera.
I still use FireFox on Linux though, because it supports more plugins and it supports them better than Opera. It it takes up a QUARTER of my systems memory no matter how much memory I seem to put in.
The only platform I notice any real slowdown with Opera on is the Mac. This could be because I only use older macs but I don't know. I still use it over Safari.
But it's nice to see Safari on Windows.
Again... iBench
Also, until Web Developer Toolbar is available somewhere other than Firefox, I'm not even going to think of switching. And even still ... I really like Firefox anyway. There's so much functionality packed in there.
It's basicly a bunch of companies trying to have the biggest E-peen.

Then, uh.... don't try Safari.
Or install it, look at memory usage, weep, and uninstall it.
Oh yeah, can't forget about that. I know why people love Firefox but man alive does it eat up memory.
