Anyone using the Safari browser for windows? I just downloaded the Beta and the look is pretty sleek. The .NET forums site is not working though

it's got vulnerabilities a-plenty - hope you aren't using it on a server!

KH

on my test system it seems much faster than firefox or IE. On the downside, the scroll wheel on the mouse doesn't work in safari yet, so it is basically unusable for me at this point.

So far its been fine for me. And I can use my scroll wheel just fine too..Although I do have issues with non-english fonts if I open any news websites from my country..And there are not many options under "Preferences". So there is nt much customization you can do.
