You hardly ever, ever get pop-ups. Ctrl-T opens your tabbed browsing. If you don't want a quick link under your address bar, drag it anywhere away from the toolbar and watch the little explosion. Add stuff to the quick link by grabbing the webpage icon in the address bar at the very beginning (for example CP's is a puck with a mapleleaf on it). Go into the edit menu and from there preferences. You can add whatever you'd like to your toolbar, including a nifty button that increases or decreases the size of text on a page (AA)
If a webpage has RSS, it shows up in the address bar and you can click the link to take you to it. Organize your favorites by clicking the little book at the left side of the quick links. Google's built in, but that's standard these days.
Lastly, when you download a file program a download window will come up. you can open the file straight from that window or from the desktop, which is the default download location it looks like.
A few things that PC users wont be used to with mac programs...Empty Cache and Reset Safri will be useful every once and awhile to speed up browsing. I empty mine once every month or so. Reset only if you hit major trouble, I haven't had to in over a year.
Just remembered one more thing...you'll find that to highlight the entire address of a website in the address bar, you'll have to click your left button 3 times. Once gets the cursor into the bar, twice highlights a single portion, and three gives you everything.
Steve jobs should be paying me.
Hope that helps.

All of those are available in FF2 and some are available in IE7.
I downloaded Safari for windows, and a few of the pages I have visited so far have not shown up right. Not sure if it is the website, or if the browser is crapping out on the css or what not.
Some short cuts as well that are available in FF2 and IE7.
Ctrl-W will close the current tab browser you have open. Can't test it on safari as it is having a problem loading, but I imagine it is the same.
