I'm glad I jumped on the Macintosh bandwagon... as a windows user I was sick of them always being behind. Ironic, isn't it? Since they have 95% of the market, we should be following them...

Sometimes irony is a good thing- APPLE RULES!!

It looks more like Netscape 8 for Windows to me, but that has been out for a while now.

An expression I see fitting for this is "If you can't beat 'em, join'em!" so Micro$oft isn't really joining, just copying.

Yep - thats what AMD did to Intel ---- I loved when Intel sued them in 1998 because we found "copyright Intel x86 1996" imbedded in their CPU micro-code along with other Intel specific code segments ...... They just copied blocks of our core code and dumped it into their product chips.

It isn't imitating Safari, it looks like it is copying Firefox. If you took the title off, you would think it was some dude with a Firefox presentation.
