Comments on: On the Windows Safari Auto-Install Issue http://www.postal-code.com/binarycode/2008/03/22/on-the-windows-safari-auto-install-issue/ A whole bunch of nought thought by Chris Cummer Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:49:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: chris http://www.postal-code.com/binarycode/2008/03/22/on-the-windows-safari-auto-install-issue/#comment-2882 chris Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:34:45 +0000 http://www.postal-code.com/binarycode/2008/03/22/on-the-windows-safari-auto-install-issue/#comment-2882 Agreed and I know that Gruber's poll shows most people would be happy if the check was off by default. Me, I'm a little more militant than that and think the two should be physically separated. "It’s not a great browser. The labels/menus are hard to see and it slows down after a few minutes." Run 's/browser/operating system/g;' on that sentence and you've got my feelings on Windows in general :) Though when I have to, FF is by far my favourite Windows browser; using Safari over there just feels... wrong, regardless of performance.

Offering the option was cool. I actually wanted it so I could have a 4th web browser on WinXP to test my websites on. It's not a great browser. The labels/menus are hard to see and it slows down after a few minutes. Of course, the fact that the EULA said you aren't allowed to run it on Windows was good for a laugh. And I needed a laugh.
