Safari has been available on Windows for a while. This provides Apple with a wider development platform for iPhone apps. It also gives Windows one of the fastest browsers around.

The 3.0.4 beta release adds a few new features that improve its usability:

• Ctrl-num keys now work. For example, Ctrl-1 launches the first URL in your bookmarks toolbar. (I love this feature)
• Improved stability
• Improved compatibility
• Spell checking
• and heaps of others…

The other nice feature is proper font rendering.

I find that I still use Firefox for lots of development, but have started to use Safari more as my main browser on Windows. It is simply faster and more pleasant.
