Safari on Windows again

So, I find that I keep using it, even though it crashes periodically and leaks memory faster than anything I've ever seen. (Well, maybe anything that wasn't designed expressly to test memory leaking.) The fonts just look so very much better, that I keep gravitating right back to it.

But then, I used to use Opera, where I could easily crank up the size of stuff until the fonts were not rendering with only one-pixel-thick lines. 150% usually does it. Hm. I think the real punch line here is that websites all seem to make the font too small. Does anyone out there know why they do this?

Posting links to images is just so much less typing.



Yep, I'm lazy that way.

I think I'll wait for the iPhone Shuffle

The thing I dislike most about Safari on Windows

...is that it looks so much like Safari on OS X that when I go to minimize it, my mouse automatically heads over to the top left corner. A regular windows app puts a little menu on the useless icon that is parked at the top left corner, but since this is all smooth and shiny, there is nothing there. I guess I could back up a bit and click on the 'Window' menu, to get a minimize action, but somehow I always take the time to go all the way over to the '_' button in the top right corner.

So frustrating this is!
