I was so glad when I read this morning that Apple released Safari to PC users. But, I am having a problem when I click on a link out at a website to send an Email - It opens up Microsoft Outlook, which I haven't used in years, instead of opening up G-mail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most browsers I know open up the desktop e-mail client when you press the e-mail link.
I don't think Gmail has a desktop client on it's own.
Same thing for IE7, press the e-mail link, and it opens my WinLive Mail.

Firefox is still way better than Safari, hell even IE7 beats Safari....other than Mac fanboys I'm not sure who else really wants to use Safari.

I disagree. Safari relly kills IE7 except for the fact that safari for windows is a bit slow. If apple can fix that, the competition is firefox and safari instead.

How do you think Safari kills IE7? Also, a bit slow, or slower than any modern browser should be?

Yes, but what is the point of Safari on Windows? There has to be some kind of motivation for Apple to do it besides good karma -> http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/and-the-point-of-safari-for-windows-is/

I had a disaster when I installed the last version of Safari on my XP system - it broke Explorer (the shell that is) and led to me adopting Ubuntu coz XP had been killed. I'm not even thinking of trying this Safari. (once bitten ...etc) but my question is - Why? What is it that Safari offers the windows user. I know what firefox offers (extensibility etc) and i know what opera brings to the table (difference etc) _ but safari?

I just downloaded Safari on my PC and have seen a tremendous difference in speed when loading pages, that usually took substantially longer with IE7.
Now that I have imported links, etc. I think I will keep Safari for a good while!
