Safari for Windows. Wow…
June 11th, 2007So that was definitely the surprise of all surprises at this WWDC keynote. Steve Jobs introduced a version of Safari which will run on Windows (XP and Vista, to be precise).
Now, after all the time I’ve spent with WebKit in the last few months (the Apple browser engine project I wrote about before, which “hijacks” Safari), some things make sense: 1) why sites like Google Reader suddenly started working completely well, in the last month; and 2) why WebKit suddenly took a turn towards unstable in the last two weeks (I’d imagine Apple forked their version a little while ago the engine so that they could get it cleaned up for this beta release, leaving the WebKit developers back to being able to do the dirty work).
It’s mind-boggling to an Old School Mac-head like myself to see this. Ten years ago, we worried about losing IE for Mac. Now, we look at Safari for Windows. What a weird wild trip it’s been…
