I was curious, being that I've used Opera in the past, and use Firefox as my main browser now, so I d/l and am using it the rest of the week to see how it competes. Thus far, I'm very impressed with Safari...I know Mac users will brag about it, but I was wondering what other Windows users thought of it.

The one nice feature I found (being a Web Developer) is the Develop menu (Not installed by default, go into Preferences > Advanced, click on the check box) allows you to manipulate the tab/window you are using to "feel" like a different browser. Will make having multiple browsers for testing obsolete...if it works right.

Just curious what all do you test for in terms of browsers. I currently run through ie6/7,firefox,safari. Our user base uses almost zero amount of Opera so I ignore it. U?

Mostly IE6/7 and Firefox. Before I upgraded to Vista, I had IE 6 as a standalone running side by side with IE7, but haven't set it up yet.

We have little to no Mac users within my company, so testing Safari isn't a big deal. I keep pushing to get a Mac for testing purposes, but the my boss isn't biting yet...

If Safari's rendering engine allows users to see sites based on other browsers properly, it'll help in the long run as far as web developers and designers trying to make sites cross-browser capable.
