The new beta of safari is out and its available for mac and PC.

The new interface is almost identical to the 2.0 interface we became familiar with. There are a few interesting tweaks that aren't immediately obvious.
- You can rearrange tabs.
- You can drag a tab out to put it in its own window.
- Searching now highlights your search results as Firefox has for the last couple of years.
- Spellcheck ? I don't remember it having this functionality before.
- You can resize text entry boxes.
and more...
Why make Safari for Windows ?
Apple does a great job of designing software and hardware that is easy to use. Those of us who use macs know this already, but many windows users don't and live with obtuse key combinations and UIs that are unnecessarily complicated. Releasing Safari for Windows is yet another avenue for a windows user to make the realization that: "Hey, I like what these apple guys are doing".
Apple's market-share is growing, I just hope that Apple doesn't become the next Microsoft.
