There was a hint you're using it with Windows 7 BETA. I don't remember that being supported.
So quit whining, fanboy.

RC, not beta.
Oh noes, another "fanboy" slam! Care to clarify what part of the post is fanboyish? 'Cause I just don't see it.

There is no "Reply" button near your post, so I'll just thread it here.
Thesis: you're a fanboy.
Basis: you're using pre-release unsupported software in conjunction with Apple's Safari, and expect that combo to work. Two strikes there.
But then you whine about it. That's strike three.
Don't take this the wrong way, I'm a regular reader, and syndication subscriber of Download Squad. I find your collective ramblings quite useful, and rarely miss a blog-post.
But that's just bit over the top, don't you think?
You're acting out as either an honest fanboy, or a troll, which is worse.
P.S. Download Squad FTW.

I don't really see how setting it up on a pre-release OS is equal to being a fanboy. Perhaps it would have been better to test it in Vista or XP, but regardless, he stated a few other reasons why he did not like it which would not have changed regardless, ie the dumb address bar.

I'm being a fanboy by following this comment thread. It wold take me a better part of an hour to explain to my mum why I'd want to do that, and then she wouldn't get it.
In the same way following pre-release software is over-enthusiastic of said software. You're either a developer (then you have stake in that software) or a fanboy if you do that.
Expecting software to work with said pre-release titles is, again – overly enthusiastic.
And blogging your shame and dispair is quadruple that.

Then I must be an ULTRA fanboy to expect Chromium, Opera 10, Firefox 3.5 and Windows 7 RC, two sets of pre-release software to work better than Safari (a final build) and Windows 7 RC!?!
Oh wait a minute, they do work better.
Why should Apple, a company with vastly more resources, do any poorer?
In case you're thinking I'm anti-apple, I own an iPod Touch.
But that does not change the fact that Apple has down a shoddy job.

I'm going to defend Lee on that one because the exact same thing happened to me a few mins after I got the Safari release. I didn't want to import my favorites because I don't want the same across my browsers, I have a set fave list for IE, FF and Chrome and the ones on Chrome are the ones I want on Safari - which it doesn't import from so I meticulously xfer the list and all is well. I go back later and they're all gone. The only ones in there are imported IE and FF ones which mind you, I had removed. So unless I missed a 'save' button, something is up. And this happened on Vista.
Now, you may go ahead and scoff and carry on about how Vista has issues, blah blah blah. I am of the square belief that anyone who calls people out as fanboys are in fact themselves fanboys (after all, it takes one to know one).
But I'm thinking there's something going on with Safari. Some last minute changes aren't playing nice with Windows.
