Question:

Is Safari for Windows going to be as big a piece of crap as iTunes on Windows? I've never used a more frustrating piece of software as iTunes.

All the things that you've described about Safari sound like how my firefox runs. BTW how does one crash firefox? I haven't been able to do that in probably a year and a half.

Edit: First impressions..

Operation is very similar to Firefox to me. I found that CP loads slower in Safari. I loves my addons in Firefox like IETab, Download Statusbar, Adblock plus.. so does Safari have anything similar?

Download window is exactly like the firefox default. But one file I tried downloading wouldn't download in Safari until I clicked the little button to go to the root page or whatever it is.. What's with no tool-tips?

I also have to ask about the google search bar. In firefox it generates suggestions for you, and remembers past searches.

Lastly, Firefox does an OK job with Microsoft pages like exchange mail servers, but works best when you can switch rendering engines on the fly (IETab). But Safari made me log in to log out? WDF?
