Safari 3.1 elbows its way onto the Windows desktop (Download Squad)

Mar 22nd 2008 7:41PM Having Safari on your Windows XP system is not a problem in my experience. It's quite quick and nice to use. It's not as unstable as the previous betas were and certainly not as unstable as IE7 is. Don't know what to say as I have read through many of the posts here.

Here we go: I have yet to see a machine running quick while running Vista anyway. I have tried all the main browsers including IE7, Firefox, Seamonkey, Opera and even Avant... They all have their good and bad points. I'm enjoying Safari on Win XP right now and I have come across no problems yet. It's quite nice in many ways.

As for Apple installing Safari as an "Update". So what! So many companies try this. Safari is not Malware or anything of the sort and if you have a Hard drive larger than say, 4Gb, then it shouldn't bloat your system. No one is making you actually use it. Get complaining about some real Malware criminals instead. (eg. Smiley Central)

Apple, Like MS, Mozilla and Opera just want to increase browser share. Installing Safari with iTunes makes good business sense, they're open about it and there's nothing sneaky about it. Make your choice. A good install of XP shouldn't slow down with all of the mentioned browsers installed at once, as you're only likely to use one or two. This is why we have Windows Prefetch.

Mark,

I understand, I really do. You can indeed have Netscape 7.2 as Netscape have archived the majority of their previous versions. Get them here: http://browser.netscape.com/downloads/archive/

Have a good 'un.
