Well, how is that Apple manages to get everything right everytime? I have never used a Mac in my life. I've been using a PC daily since '95. And all these years never once did I had any opportunity to work on a Mac. The only Apple products that I have used are Quicktime, iTunes, iPod Classic and now Safari, their web browser. I felt Quicktime wasn't upto the mark maybe due to its lack of functionality in Windows. Moreover VLC and jetaudio made things easier. Initially I thought iTunes was waste of time until I started to use it again in 2004, I felt there's nothing like it. iPod Classic is sure a great player. But the headphones a bit hard for my ears. I am in look out of a reasonably priced ear canal headphones (Sennheiser costs 3500!!). Also lost photos kept in my iPod because of its overtly simplified methods (will be blogging in detail).
But, with the updated Safari 3.1, all my notions about Apple is taking a back seat. I had used Safari earlier when it was first released for Windows. It was a nightmare then. I didn't bother much on it as i was happy with Opera and Firefox and sometimes IE7. But now, Apple has made me to rethink on my options. I find Safari the fastest without any doubt. I checked out sites like hindustantimes.com and timesofindia.com, which used to take few minutes to get loaded on Opera and Firefox. But on Safari, its very quick, infact it gets loaded in seconds. The interface is just superb with its strong resemblance to iTunes. Bookmarked sites are seen on the top below the address bar, making it easy for the user. Tabbing is present just like any other browser. One drawback is that I couldn't find any plugins. Especially something like stumbleupon!. For that Firefox has a advantage, considering that I never use IE7. As for security related issues, I do not know much about it but I just hope there aren't many.
