Will this ever happen ?
It's apparently implemented into iTunes, but I want more...

If it means less people using IE, then sure it's a good thing. I don't really think that it will, though. iTunes is sort of an exceptional port--it's required for the iTunes store, if I'm not mistaken. What, really, would porting Safari to Windows achieve?

A friend of mine just bought a dual 1.8 G5 for pro tools, i noticed he had the IE icon in the dock, when i asked him why he had done that he said "cause Safari is too slow and hard to use"
Now i wouldn't say he's the most computer savvy person I know, but as a web designer its one of the scariest excuses for installing such an inferior browser i could have ever heard.
It doesnt matter how shit IE is, people are used to it, and a lot of people still and will continue to believe that IE IS the internet. Even though safari/firefox and even opera is more user friendly, faster and standards compliant its completely unfamiliar to a large amount of people, and i'd say most of these people don't see why they should change from one broswer to another. What do you reckon?

explorer is so tightly integrated into the windows OS very few "average users" will ever venture to use safari on windows. a shame to hear mac users using ie on a dual g5 especially cosidering ie is at its final ever mac version. I would have thought browser controls were generic enough for anyone to use.

I love Safari browser.
On most mac it's super fast. No popups, and tab browsing. What more could you want.

I agree XC01, i read an article recently which said that Microsoft arent updating windows IE till longhorn comes out anyway, so its bad enough that the final IE release on mac is terrible, but its now been confirmed that its at least a year and a bit before we get an updated IE on PC, and then there is no guarantee that they'll improve their standards compliance
